Kappaphycus alvarezii and Eucheuma denticulatum are the major species of carrageenophytes commercially farmed in the Philippines. These are utilized as raw materials in the manufacture of iota and Kappa carrageenans, respectively. This report covers the recent modifications in the traditional fixed-off bottom monoline method of culture to raft method, changes in materials and construction of the raft culture system to adopt to the ecology of the site, and the ecological problems associated with the culture such as seasonality in production, "ice-ice" malaise, grazing, whitening of branch tips, etc. and their solutions. The cropping management recommended to improve the overall production of the different strains, the success in the development of procedures in laboratory, branch, micropropagule culture, and the production of laboratory cultivars for mariculture were also presented
