The traditional salt making by drying up brine under the sun in a “small-boat” made of coconut stem is reviving at this moment. The brine is derived from pouring sea water on the bed of sand and let it dried under the sun. The farmer has to walk about 40 to 50 times for this process. It's very inefficient and a lot of hard work for the farmer. In the afternoon the dried salt in the sand is collected and dissolved in sea water and filtered down with strainer made of coconut fibers, pebbles and sands to get clear brine. After letting the dirt precipitated, the next morning the clear brine is sun dried by putting it in a “small boat” made of coconut stem. After it dried, the upper layer salt become the best quality of salt as it is white and clean without dirt.
