One of the most abundant, nutrient-dense food sources on the planet is sitting on shorelines, completely free - and most people walk right past it. 🌊
Seaweed doesn't need fresh water, fertiliser, or land to grow, and many coastal areas have edible species available almost year-round. For anyone building food self-sufficiency, it's one of the lowest-effort, highest-reward things you can learn to forage.
I've put together a full guide covering how to identify edible species safely (and what to avoid), how to harvest responsibly so you're not damaging the ecosystem, and simple ways to prepare and preserve what you find.

If you're near a coastline, this is genuinely worth learning — has anyone here already added it to their foraging routine?
