Introduction to Seaweeds

India, with its extensive coastline of over 7,500 kilometers along the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, has significant potential for seaweed cultivation and harvesting (Reddy et al.,2016). The country is home to a variety of seaweed species, and the sector is gradually gaining attention for its commercial and ecological benefits. Seaweeds are marine algae that grow in oceans and other bodies of saltwater. They play an essential role in the marine ecosystem by producing oxygen, providing food, and offering habitats for marine life.
