Collecting macroalgae in Hawaii and the Caribbean

[Shipwreck]

When I was in Maui I talked to one of the locals and he told me that collecting fish/plants was legal for them without permits. However bringing it into canada would require a cities permit or at least inspection by the food & drug department. I personally didn't find anything that was worth bringing back in the way of algaes. There was one small spot of mangroves but they had already dropped and werent' in good shape.

A couple of guys here have ordered sea grasses through florida farms I believe with good sucess. Or talk to the LFS as they should get little chunks of algaes on the corals/rock they bring in.
