Honiara, Solomon Islands
Reef Islands Farm Site
The project expanded to Reef
Islands in early 2006 where 5 MT of live seaweed was transported to Reef
Islands. Farms were established immediately and warehouse was built to
accommodate the incoming production.
A record of 110 farmers were registered in Reef Islands. Production from
Reef Islands appeared in April 2006 with a total of more than 5 MT of dried
seaweed was produced by farmers in 2006. The warehouse was completed in
2007. Fish and turtle grazing was the main problem in Reef Islands hindering
the expansion and development of farms. The impact of the April 2 tsunami in
2007 affected further development.
A highest record of more than $8,000.00 was generated by Reef Islands
farmers from cultivating seaweed in 2006.
More live seaweed are delivered in 2008 but are kept in cages to avoid fish
grazing
