Produce salt?

Should be cheap since it is waste product now. Add value by making it consumable seasalt. In Wetsern shops, seasalt is much more expensive than industrially produced pure salt.

There ya go.

Pump it back into the ocean - through well designed pipe diffusers to ensure efficient mixing. dispersion and dilution.

What a waste Michael.

Pumping costs money

Pure sea salt can be sold! Money back.

Cheers,

Evgeny Todorov Kolev

True, Frank. As long as 1) supply vs. demand is right 2) quality is acceptable.

If you make more than you can sell or it is not good enough for consumption - you have no other choice but throw it back, doing your best not to mess the eco-system
