Locals are also involved in other forms of fishing and work on
seaweed farms, in salt making, shell gathering and the harvesting of sea slugs,
sea urchins and clams. Seaweed is used as a health food or a food additive and
is in demand by cosmetics makers. The Chinese consider sea slugs an aphrodisiac,
while sea urchins supply highly prized uni in Japan. Production of pearls
is another growing industry. The Manamoc project has been extended over the last
decade to 20 nearby islands, and there are more on a waiting list to sign
up. Wining and dining at Amanpulo can take place privately in one’s
casita, in the beach club or the restaurant. Amanpulo also has some wonderful
picnic and evening dining spots including a well-organized beach bonfire.
Australian executive chef Don Christie says those who are "chilling out" usually
prefer the wide variety of seafood and steaks, rather than anything too
elaborate. Satellite communications keep television, phones and e-mail flowing
for those who desire regular contact with the outside world.
