“Seaweed” Cultivation at Lembongan Island

Nusa Lembongan (“Nusa” means Island), at 4.6 km long and up to 1.5km wide, is one of a cluster of three small islands located to the southeast of Bali – the other two are Nusa Penida (also known as Nusa Gede) and Nusa Ceningan.

The people of Nusa Lembongan live in the villages of Jungut Batu and Lembongan and number around 5,000.

The only way of reaching the island is by sea: from Sanur beach or Denpasar’s Tanjung Benoa harbour, or from Tribhuana harbour in the village of Kusamba, Klungkung.

There is also a variety of ways of crossing to choose from, ranging from the kind of wooden boats that are used by local people to the speed boats commonly used by tourists.

Strategically, Sanur beach is the most convienant to gain access to the island, due to its proximity to several tourist locations in and around Denpasar and Kuta.

Means of transport for the crossing and fares per person vary quite a bit, from IDR65,000 one way on the public boat to about IDR100,000 by speed boat. The public boat makes the trip every morning at 8am while the speed boats make three trips during the day.

The boats used by the local people are made from wood or fibreglass. They are quite big with bamboo outriggers on both sides for stabilization and to reduce rocking when ploughing through the waves.

The boats follow Bali’s eastern shoreline and cross the Badung strait to head for Nusa Lembongan. It is a pleasant trip across fairly calm waters and the one and a half hours it takes pass quickly. From the boat you could see the white sands of the beach spread out in front of Jungut Batu village. The seaweed cultivated by the local people here was also easily visible because the seawater is so clear.

Nusa Lembongan is known as the biggest seaweed producing area in Bali. Along with West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and Central and South Sulawesi, Bali is one of the most important seaweed producing areas in Indonesia.

The landscape of Nusa Lembongan, which is largely made up of gently inclined white sand, and the transparent seawater with suitably strong currents, make it ideal for the cultivation of seaweed.

Since the 1990s the number of tourists visiting this island has increased rapidly and many facilities and infrastructure - including a varied choice of accommodation types - have been built. These range from bungalows and villas to guesthouses and hotels.

Starting from Jungut Batu you can head south towards the village of Lembongan to take a look at the seaweed cultivation areas located on the southern side of the island along the strait that separates Nusa Lembongan from Nusa Ceningan. All along the beach the seaweed farmers come and go, unloading seedlings or loading their latest harvest of seaweed into their boats. There are a few simple buildings which are used for resting or for preparing the seedlings. The remaining open land is used for drying the seaweed. There are also some souvenir shops and food stalls.
