Abstract

Marine microalgae known as seaweeds flourish in shallow coastal waters and around rocky shorelines. Used in several sectors like cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, agriculture and with great variety, they have various uses. Rich in nutrients and with therapeutic qualities, seaweeds are referred to as the "Medical Food of 21st Century". Along the shores of Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and the islands of Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar, seaweed resources are plentiful. The possibilities of seaweed farming, site selection criteria, production trends, cultural approaches and economic influence are investigated in this paper.
