However, cultivation techniques undertaken by the local community have not fully had good planting quality. Method: The study includes the preparation phase, the implementation stage, and the observation stage. The parameters measured were the growth rate of Eucheuma cottonii seaweed is weight in the form of gram, using Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with 4 treatment levels and 6 replications. Results: The results of this study show that at a distance of 30 cm seaweed growth experienced a better growth rate when compared with other growth spacing, with wet weight for 45 days was 218 grams. Conclusion: Plant spacing affects the weight of seaweed, a good planting distance for seaweed growth is 30 cm at sea ebb and sea level with average wet weight for 45 days (6 weeks) is 218 grams.]]>
