Seaweed Farms off South Korea's southern coast

Seaweed farms surround Sisan Island, off the south coast of South Korea. In “fields” like these, seaweed is often grown on ropes attached to buoys, which hold the crop near the water’s surface. The southern waters of South Korea are ripe with aquaculture operations like these; in fact, this region produces 90% of the nation’s seaweed crop.
