The unique marine culture in Xiapu has been thriving for centuries. Seaweed farms form a major part of the aquaculture, while tidal fishing and oyster farms are also key to the economy.Fisherfolk returning home after a day’s work in the tidal mudflats. From October to December, it’s harvest time for laver (a rich reddish brown edible seaweed).Bamboo poles used for drying kelp and seaweed during the spring-summer harvest season extend out into the sea.A fisherman hoisting seaweed onto his boat. Seaweed harvesting is a labour-intensive process that takes place on family-run farms.The fishing community often lives in floating villages or on boats all year round, a lifestyle dating back to the Tang dynasty.Oyster farming is another important part of the marine culture in Xiapu. These small, cupped monk-hat oysters are found in abundance in the waters around Fujian.
