Seasonal seaweed drying and collection zone. In Zamboanguita, the coastal town south of Dumaguete, home of the Wednesday Malatapay market and the Apo Island boats. 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.
