Seaweed cultivation was identified as a viable alternative livelihood activity in the national Economic Alternatives and Fisheries Diversification Plan –Fish for Life plan. As the level of interest for seaweed cultivation grows countrywide, so does the need for the establishment of proper methods and guidelines to ensure that current and future developments are in line with the principles of sustainable seaweed cultivation.This guideline is therefore for establishing and maintaining sustainable seaweed mariculture farms in Belize, both in marine protected areas, and non-marine protected areas. It serves as a guiding document for the full training program which all seaweed farmers are required to participate in, prior to the establishment of farms within the waters of Belize. The contents in this documentare based on best management practices that have been identified as relevant to Belize, and that exist to ensure optimum socio-economic and ecological benefits, while ensuring minimal negative impacts. It is our hope that this guideline and associated training program will assist in the diversification of the fisheries industry of Belize.
