Pangasinan is home to one of the leading and biggest suppliers of salt in the country. In Dasol, salt farming is a family-based industry, with around 400 families benefitting from the trade. Salt produced in Dasol is unique because it is pollution-free thanks to the locals’ effort in regularly reforesting their mangroves, which serve as natural filters of seawater. The policymakers in Dasol, too, make sure to keep their waters clean and safe by creating programs to ensure this.
