PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique capable of transplanting seaweed to the seabed in a more natural form. SOLUTION: A transplant assisting material 100 that assists in transplanting a large algae 50 is composed of a three-dimensional net-like fiber material aggregate 10 in which a plurality of fiber materials 1 are locally bonded to each other, and the three-dimensional net-like fiber material aggregate 10 is formed. Has a gap space 15 to which the large algae 50 can directly adhere to the seabed.
