At the salt evaporation ponds in Gongoni, Kilifi County. Water (mostly seawater) is directed into the ponds by the use of pumps. Natural evaporation is then left to take place and salt is subsequently harvested. The ponds also provide resting grounds for waterbirds. #BlueEconomy

The salt production sector has large-scale players who have monopolized the table salt market and special salt suitable for baking. The small-scale players like the one whose ponds I've pictured focus on other markets like animal feed makers.

There is ongoing competition, sometimes unfair, despite the focus on different markets. The larger companies are often accused of blocking seawater from reaching the ponds of the small-scale entrepreneurs in the sector.

"Harvesting the oceans under the Blue Economy": "The #OECD suggests that the #ocean economy is likely to outpace the global economy in the next 15 years."

Under guise of protecting #biodiversity:

"Framed as perhaps the last untapped, under-explored & under-exploited region in the world, the Pacific #Ocean is set to be a contested space for resources."

#WorldEconomicForum #SDGs

"The #BlueEconomy heralds a new race to carve up the Pacific, turning the Pacific Ocean, from surface to seafloor, into a crowded/contested space. Pacific state leaders are courted w/ economic gains that are a fraction of the value of the ocean resources that will be #extracted."
