Any ideas on how to tack down a 13 Ft sea grass mat on my front porch?

I have an enclosed 3 season front porch, more like a sun room. The sea grass mat my mother put down about 13 ft long and maybe 6 ft wide, shifts upon walking. It isn't dangerous to the point of injury, but the pattern weave is skewed making it difficult to determine what a painted pattern would look like. Any ideas how to tack it down, right now there is very little foot traffic.

Have you tried a rubber rug pad underneath? Here is a link with an example for you.

You can use Velcro strips along the edges of the mat. Just use adhesive to secure the strips to the floor and the sea grass mat.
I have a smaller natural fiber rug I use in the summertime on my front porch. I use double faced tape to hold it in place at each corner. Remember to put the tape on the rug first as its a pain to do both the floor and the rug at the same time. It sounds like your rug is always in place? If so I would probably run some spots of the tape across the six foot length . Maybe 3 sections? this in addition to doing the corners.
