    Seaweeds ! are not mere weeds but are valued marine plants.

Our Indian coast including two groups of islands, harbour around 800 seaweed species belonging to Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta, and Rhodhophyta. This vast and economically important ocean resource required to be conserved, protected and utilized on sustainable bases. This is possible by following proper scientific standerdized sampling procedure, correct species identification, inventorization and documentation as well as quantitative assessment to evaluate standing stock and standing crop of the economically valuable species.Often seaweed information is scattered in books, journals, reports etc. and are not readily available to the larger research community. This manual presents sampling procedure, processing of the samples, wet and dry preservations and qualitative and quantitative assessment of seaweed resources. Keys to common genera and species are given as an examples for the identification. For further identification upto species level books may be refered.
