Hello, I would like to ask for the authentication of the Seaweed that we have gathered. For context: we have gathered seaweed from the beaches of Tambobong Beach, Pangasinan, we would like to know the process and the requirements we need for our seaweed to be authenticated. We would like to know if the seaweed gathered is Eucheuma or not since Eucheuma's the one specified we will be using for our paper. We would like to receive a response at your earliest convenience for the sake of our Practical Research.
