I'm aware that WA requires you to buy a $7 license to harvest seaweed for gardening purposes. However reading the actual regulation, it talks about how to harvest live seaweed.

Do you think taking dried seaweed from above the high water line falls under the same regulations? If so, it's a dumb rule IMO.

Thanks.

I'm kind of thinking so as the law does mention "possess" as one of the elements of requiring a license. But I'm not sure, maybe somebody else who is more familiar with the law can answer definitively.

Hmmmm. "...from state waters or offshore waters including national park beaches"

Dried seaweed above the high tide line might not be considered state or offshore waters. Maybe staying away from national park beaches gets me off the hook.

Since it's only $7 it might be cheaper just to buy the license as opposed to the fine.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear at all.

I have absolutely no problem paying the $7 per year - that's cheap. I balk at the 10lb per day limit.

I want to be able to harvest the dried weed above the high tide line and take home garbage bags full of the stuff for my future compost heap. 10lb just isn't worth the trip.

LOL, ok, that makes more sense. I was thinking, Wow, this guy is really cheap
