Seaweed farming along the north coast. In Escalante, a north-coast city where rice, cane and the Visayan Sea fishery meet. Seaweed farming here is tidal and seasonal — lines and floats offshore, drying tarpaulins along the road. Fresh lato (sea grapes) reaches the market as a salad with vinegar, tomato and onion; the dried crop goes into the carrageenan trade. Low tide is when the work is visible.
