In its development, seaweed farmers have experienced a decline in production in the last few years due to various factors including a shift in people's understanding of seaweed, fluctuating prices, and traditional planting methods. The community assistance program carried out by the community service team in collaboration with the local community through the theme of increasing the added value of seaweed businesses in coastal communities tries to solve the problem. The results of the mentoring program showed changes in the way coastal communities grow seaweed efficiently and more modern, the community recognizes and understands the types of seaweed that are suitable for cultivation in their place.
