Mandapam women earn with ease by cultivating seaweed, thanks to CMFRI expertise
It has not been a very rough sailing for S. Muneeswari’s family during the past one year, though her husband’s income as a fisherman has been sporadic. For 12 years she and her group of friends in Vedalai, a coastal village in Mandapam, have been cultivating Kappaphycus alvarezii (red algae). But it was when the COVID-19 lockdown was announced that these women realised the potential of this seaweed. It kept their families afloat, and the medicinal value that the seaweed is packed with, including its immune-boosting property, necessary to fight coronavirus, was brought into limelight.
