Nusa Lembongan - The Island of Seaweed Farmers

Nusa Lembongan (“Nusa” means Island), at 4.6 km long and up to 1.5km wide, is one of a cluster of three small islands located to the southeast of Bali – the other two are Nusa Penida (also known as Nusa Gede) and Nusa Ceningan.
The people of Nusa Lembongan live in the villages of Jungut Batu and Lembongan and number around 5,000.
The only way of reaching the island is by sea: from Sanur beach or Denpasar’s Tanjung Benoa harbour, or from Tribhuana harbour in the village of Kusamba, Klungkung.
There is also a variety of ways of crossing to choose from, ranging from the kind of wooden boats that are used by local people to the speed boats commonly used by tourists.
Strategically, Sanur beach is the most convienant to gain access to the island, due to its proximity to several tourist locations in and around Denpasar and Kuta.
Means of transport for the crossing and fares per person vary quite a bit, from IDR30,000 one way on the public boat to about IDR50,000 by speed boat. The public boat makes the trip every morning at 8am while the speed boats make three trips during the day.
The boats used by the local people are made from wood or fibreglass. They are quite big with bamboo outriggers on both sides for stabilization and to reduce rocking when ploughing through the waves.
The boats follow Bali’s eastern shoreline and cross the Badung strait to head for Nusa Lembongan. It is a pleasant trip across fairly calm waters and the one and a half hours it takes pass quickly. From the boat I could see the white sands of the beach spread out in front of Jungut Batu village. The seaweed cultivated by the local people here was also easily visible because the seawater is so clear.
Nusa Lembongan is known as the biggest seaweed producing area in Bali. Along with West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and Central and South Sulawesi, Bali is one of the most important seaweed producing areas in Indonesia.
The landscape of Nusa Lembongan, which is largely made up of gently inclined white sand, and the transparent seawater with suitably strong currents, make it ideal for the cultivation of seaweed.
Since the 1990s the number of tourists visiting this island has increased rapidly and many facilities and infrastructure - including a varied choice of accommodation types - have been built. These range from bungalows and villas to guesthouses and hotels. On my way from the dock to my accommodation, I saw the houses of the local community alongside hotels and other tourist accommodation. Almost every bit of open space is used for drying seaweed. The farmers sometimes seem oblivious to the presence of tourists but they are very friendly if you get chatting to them.
For getting around the island I hired a motorbike. It cost IDR75,000 for 8 hours, including petrol. You can drive it yourself or use a guide for a small additional fee. For large groups or people on a package tour, there are pick up trucks modified for sightseeing expeditions.
Starting from Jungut Batu I headed south towards the village of Lembongan to take a look at the seaweed cultivation areas located on the southern side of the island along the strait that separates Nusa Lembongan from Nusa Ceningan. All along the beach the seaweed farmers come and go, unloading seedlings or loading their latest harvest of seaweed into their boats. There are a few simple buildings which are used for resting or for preparing the seedlings. The remaining open land is used for drying the seaweed. There are also some souvenir shops and food stalls.
Seaweed cultivation provides a livelihood for most of Nusa Lembongan’s residents while others earn their living from the tourist trade or work for the local government. Seaweed accounts for a significant boost to the prosperity of the local communities. The most commonly grown types of seaweed are Cottonii and Spinosum. After it is harvested, the local people usually dry it and then sell it to wholesalers who pay between IDR2,000 and IDR5,000 per kilogram.
From the seaweed cultivating areas of Nusa Lembongan village, I headed for the bridge that connects Nusa Lembongan to Nusa Ceningan. Being a mere metre and a half wide, this bridge can only be used by pedestrians and motorbikes. The view from this bridge is very interesting with the white sand of the seabed easily visible through the clear greenish water.
A trip from here to the island of Nusa Penida would take about 30 minutes by public boat.
After taking in the view from the bridge, I made my way north across Nusa Lembongan island and noticed how the land became drier with mangroves everywhere. The cultivation of corn, cassava and coconuts here is suited to this arid soil.
My journey finally ended with my return to the village of Jungut Batu. The tour of the island, not including stops, takes about 30 minutes. With it being so small, one could go right around it several times in a single day.
Later I headed south again to check out the panorama of the island from the top of the hill near Jungut Batu village. There I waited for the gorgeous scene when the sun is sinking below the rocks to the east of the island, a place travellers like to call Dream Beach.
