The salt mines in Maras traditionally have been available to any person wishing to harvest salt. The owners of the salt ponds must be members of the community, and families that are new to the community wishing to propitiate a salt pond get the one farthest from the community. Any prospective salt farmer need only locate an empty currently unmaintained pond, consult with the local informal cooperative, learn how to keep a pond properly within the accepted communal system, and start working. . . .

As of September 2019, the company that owns the salt pans, announced that visitors are no longer allowed to walk around the salt ponds due to contamination. . . .
