Abstract: 

The secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) commissioned the Institute of Marine Resources (IMR) of The University of the South Pacific to: 1) conduct a literature review of the introductions of the seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii to Pacific Islands Countries and the current state of seaweed farming in these countries and 2) to field-test their proposed quarantine protocol for introducing K. alvarezii to new locations.
