Based on these data, interpolation will be carried out which aims to predict grid values that are not represented by sample points. The interpolation used is Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW). The percentage of suitability of seaweed cultivation in the waters of Lembeh Island and Bitung City has 2 categories. The Unsuitable (N) has a percentage of 41%, and for the Category Suitable (S1), which is a highly recommended zone for seaweed cultivation, has a percentage of 59%.
