I know most people don't live near the water but if you do you could take advantage of some of the seaweeds that grow in shallow water.
Every summer I collect Codium out on the east end of Long Island for my reef. It lasts through the summer and into the fall as long as you don't have too many snails which eat it. I haven't found any fish that eat it though. It is very common and in some places it is hard to walk in the water without stepping on it. It always grows on a holdfast which is usually a small rock or limpet.
The limpets don't last long though and I usually clean them out if they are large.
You can see one of my clingfish in here.
I know there is too much of the stuff in here but I really collected most of it for someone else and I am holding it for her here.
I hope to go collecting again in a week or so for some other people that asked me for it.
