[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Growing seaweeds is one of the most important industries of Zanzibar. As demand is high, more and more Zanzibar Indian Ocean beaches during low tide are becoming fiels of algs & other seaweeds and women give up other activities and turn to this work. As usual, it is not them who profits the most - it is traders/exporters who earn the real money. That is why lately woman from some villages started to trade their harvests on their own, forming cooperatives that sell seweeds wholesale...

Seaweeds are used in cosmetic/pharma industries as well as you can eat them in sushi ;-)
Main export directions are Japan & countries of Far East

Hi, Hubert!
It is very good, interesting photo about our big different world. I like the infinite great blue space water (I seem that it's ocean) and sky, and people for strange work.
It is really interesting!
Thanks
