... at the end of the summer (basically just around the dates the storm came last weekend), the authorities cover the beach with seaweed over the winter. the seaweed actually protects the sand on the beach from getting taken away by storms ...

Part of the farm's seaweed harvest resting in the sun !
The seaweed is collected from the beaches early in the morning ...
It is a wonderful ecological fertiliser for the soil and has been used on Ibiza for centuries to improve the soil. Did you know that seaweed contains over 60 trace elements, it contains nitrogen fixing properties and creepy crawlies who love to devour your vegetables and plants loathe it !!! And it is free !!!
The leftovers are given to the pigs who love play with it ...but especially love snoozing on it on a hot summer's day!!!

They used to do that in the Island of Ré in the 1950's to fertilise the soil in the vineyards. Now they have stopped doing that and waste à lot of money on buying artificial fertilisers ...

in recent years there is a new movement to just push it to the sides of the beach in spring and push it back at the start of winter storm season to prevent sand erosion.
