Seaweed has for centuries played an important role as a manure around the Irish coast. Reliance on it has varied from district to district according to local economic circumstances. It assumed a particular significance along the west coast during the second half of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century when a rapid increase in population led to the colonization of waste and marginal land by people who depended more and more on the potato for subsistence and whose holdings were too small to carry any substantial numbers of Iivestock. In the absence of adequate supplies of other organic manures, seaweed became of vital importance and its collection and harvesting a main preoccupation of the seaboard population
