Structure, Exploitation, State of the Art (April 2022)

Ndeye Coumba Bousso, a PhD student in the CLIMALG-SN project at the University of Dakar is working on adding value to macroalgae.

She has gathered information on Mersitotheca senegalensis in the linked presentations. The red alga Meristotheca senegalensis is a valuable source of iodine and carrageenan and, is extracted from wild stocks in Senegal, while there is growing interest in cultivating it for food use as well.
