By examining and cataloguing the types of seaweed, we will be able to assist other researchers in finding health benefits or issues regarding seaweeds. An excessive amount of seaweed is unhealthy for the ocean because it can deplete oxygen and kill wildlife. As a result, there is a significant correspondence between the amount of seaweed and the health of the ocean. By researching seaweed we will be providing information for the public and for industries, especially those who use seaweed as an ingredient in their products.
