Don't miss it, visit seaweed farming at Nusa Lembongan Heading westwards from the Lembongan Village and then following the roads along the coast, you will find a range of green and blue seaweed farming.  The seaweed farming is separated by some ropes and little posts where the algae are tied up on it to grow. Since the mid-1980s, nearly all the community lives off seaweeds, which are exported to the rest of Asia for the cosmetic and food industry. Every household can make one to two million rupiah a month from the red and green algae just enough to survive on these islands, where everything has to be brought from the main land at high cost.
