@udangtang Other women around her age - in their eighties and nineties - also pick through the algae that has come to rest on the sand putting what's salable in small bags and leaving the rest

I don't know the meaning of has come to rest on the sand

It means pick through the algae that's on the sand.

"Come to rest" is just used to be more poetic sounding

The algae was once in the ocean and is now sitting still on the sand. So it's "resting" but it's actually just not moving. Algae doesn't really rest
