Abstract
The Kei Islands are surrounded by small islands and the sea, which means that the lives of the people, especially seaweed farmers, are largely dependent on the sea, especially the people of Warbal village. The sea is a place to earn a living, so you cannot be careless about the sea. The type of research used is quantitative research type supported by qualitative type. The quantitative type was carried out using a descriptive survey method which was complemented by a qualitative method by means of in-depth interviews regarding seaweed productivity in Warbal Village. Seaweed productivity in Warbal Village has decreased due to several factors, one of which is price. The market price of seaweed has decreased greatly, where in 2022 seaweed will be IDR 30,000/kg, while in 2023 the price of seaweed will be IDR 10,000/kg. The total production of seaweed produced was 1 respondent with the lowest production yield, where the total production for 7 months was 203 kg and the total production output was IDR 2,030,000, while the one respondent with the highest production yield was 260 kg with the total production output being IDR .2,600,000. Low productivity of seaweed cultivation refers to the resulting production limitations which have an impact on the income of seaweed farmers. Unexpected maximum seaweed production is also caused by repeated use of seeds so that the seeds are of low quality because they carry disease seeds or their resistance to disease has been reduced.
