FloridaPets Marine aquaria products and services

and some here:

Macro Algae: Your Source For Quality Marine Plants and Macroalgae | Gulf Coast Ecosystems

Seems like in tampa you could collect it in the wild depending on the state probitions.

Thanks. I do collect locally on some things but I haven't been able to locate regulations on sea grasses

I duno about in the US but I did some research into this a while ago. Here in aus it's illegal to collect from seagrass beds. Some types of seagrass are endangered and because growth can be so painfully slow, there's a complete ban on collecting, selling, buying and trading most (if not, all) species.

Guess that answers my question

Or not. It doesn't seem like i can get a definite answer. Probably gonna give a call to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and get some information.
