The 42 countries or territories that are reported as having commercial seaweed activity are highlighted in the ocean zone pages by a green background. Clicking on a country name takes you to a a page that summarizes seaplant statistics and information for that country and will soon hotlink you to a whole network of timely, commercially useful information. Click on the World Factbook links indicated next to each country map for detailed information.

Coming when funding permits... real-time situation reports from key production areas
One of the major goals of SuriaLink is to set up a subscription service that provides real-time, decision critical. cost effective GIS information to the seaplant industry. This will include prices, crop conditions, factors effecting the business and all the other facts that decision makers need to plan their next business moves. Among the first industry sectors to be dealt with in this way will be supplies of 'Carragar" seaplants such as cottonii, spinosum and Gracilaria. Watch for developments.
