This is where the people of Doong and Lipayran grow there 'Guso' plants (a variety of seaweed that grow in vines) and one of there main sources if income.
"Most of the people in Doong as well as its neighboring islands have 'Guso Plantation'. But you cant guarantee that you will gain profit once this is your business because it has a major flaw in its production co'z for example is there's typhoon, this will easily washed out by strong current."
