CADIZ, Sept 24 — In the salt marshes of Cadiz in southwestern Spain, Juan Carlos Sanchez de Lamadrid surveyed a grid of rectangular pools of milky water, part of a time-honoured tradition to harvest salt from the sea.
The 56-year-old, originally from Seville, was part of a small but dynamic group of artisans trying to keep the tradition of sea salt harvesting alive. Of the 160 sea salt producers that existed at the beginning of the 20th century, only four are still operating.

“Some salt marshes were in a really poor state,” said Martin, a marine biologist who believes places like the Bay of Cadiz are not valued enough for their ecological importance.
