| Step 1- Preparation of the Salt Ponds | |||

After the end of the previous harvest season, the ponds are allowed to flood in order to protect the earthen barriers from erosion from rain and wind. In the springtime, normally in March, water is allowed to drain out and the ponds are cleaned and prepared for the harvesting season. Any structural damage or erosion to the pond barriers will be repaired at this time. Accumulations of plant matter and any other detritus are removed. |
