Well, they are trying, if not as whole-heartedly as in Sartar. But it probably isn't very good for crops, and it's going to be difficult to hold onto much outside of the citadels anyway.

Aside from Missing Lands, there's a page or so in Glorantha: the Second Age (at least in the MRQ1 version, I don't know about the MRQ2 one), the two page "Malki Coast" homeland write-up in Men of the Sea, and some material in Middle Sea Empire. Moving away from official sources, there's a bunch of material by Dave Dunham here: http://www.poppyware.com/dunham/glorantha/umathela/
