  • Abstract: This research was a survey research, which aims at revealing the facts of a phenomenon by using the questionnaire as an instrument of primary data collectors. The data were then evaluated and interpreted relating to the activity of seaweed farmers scattered in several districts of South Sulawesi province. The results showed that there is a convenience obtained by the public in the form of government policy in supporting the seaweed farmers. Nearly, all the citizens who live on the coastal area conduct the cultivation of seaweed such as in the regency of Takalar, Jeneponto, Bantaeng, Pangkep, and Barru. Therefore, the production of seaweeds in South Sulawesi has increased significantly since 2005. The seaweed production in South Sulawesi in 2004 was approximately 20.141 tons. It increased in 2007. It was about 42.000 tons. By realizing the production development of the main export commodity of South Sulawesi, the local government is optimistic that the economic growth in this area will be getting better. In addition, other business opportunities can be developed. For example, along the coastal area of Takalar to Sinjai, South Sulawesi Province, there was virtually no longer the location for drying fish. The coastal area has turned into drying seaweed.
