Thank's Phil,

Here's one more report on the "Seaweed Lady":

http://travelvideo.tv/news/more.php?id=A8833_0_1_0_M

What's interesting to note (actually pretty amazing) is she
makes $35 PER PERSON by giving SEAWEED TOURS!

I don't know how many people she can run through each 2
hour tour, or how many tours she does each day and each
week, from May to Sept., but it look's like a very nice gig in
addition to her other revenue streams.

(Being a NW coaster thats gotta be right up there with
the folks that figured out how to cash in on slug tours here
in the rainy NW)

So, maybe the question shoudn't be, "How can I make
money harvesting and selling this stuff on the beach?

But, "How can I make money showing people this stuff
on the beach?

PROMOTIONS could be your best angle.

Maybe something as simple as developing local seaweed tour
packages to sell on eBay to start.

Or, taking some time to study how the Seaweed Lady does it,
and/or your local Bird Watching Travel industry. And applying
some of those same techniques.

Basically twisting and shaping your own ideas like Phil is so good
at pointing out.

Good luck,

Rod
