Horse carts are used to collect "Pelillo" (Gracilaria Chilensis) seaweed during a low tide harvest in Puerto Montt, 1016 kilometres south of Santiago on October 19, 2016. Chile started to cultivate this seaweed in 1960, when Japan began to use it in food and pharmaceutical industries, but its development decreased due to the water pollution caused by fishing companies. Workers collect about five tons of seaweed and earn 60 dollars a day. About 60.000 tons of "pelillo" are collected annualy in southern Chile. / AFP PHOTO / MARTIN BERNETTI
