Why Jacobsen Salt Co. Is One of the Only U.S. Producers of Sea Salt | Eater

"A nearly seven-mile-long stretch of the Oregon Coast chosen for its unusually high salinity, this bay was identified after side-by-side comparisons of seawater samples from locations ranging from Neah Bay to Gold Beach. It supports tens of millions of oysters — individual oysters can filter about 20 gallons of seawater per day — which play a key role in keeping the water exceptionally clean. The bay serves as the source for hand-harvested salt, and there is a strong emphasis on preserving its long-standing cleanliness." - Avery Dalal
