Seaweed Harvest

[Alexion]

I searched but have not found and good info. How do harvest seaweed? I swim all around it and never get a indication to harvest. Do you need a certain tool? Any help is appreciated,

If you map the islands (including the smaller ones) well in the Bird Region and Buffalo Region, it will show you the location of the 2 different 'seaweeds' named Hydrilla and Halymenia (also called Horseweed). Go to the very top of these smaller islands for a larger mapping radius.
The Hydrilla usually is individually spread around UW rocks and stands out because of its height (and being yellow), the Halymenia is in a dispersed group and harder to spot since it is much smaller and red and usually between large clumps of other unusable red seaweed.
You have to dive in these areas to collect them, no tool required, make sure there are no sharks around or have your trusty harpoon and wound medicine with you. Keep an eye out for urchins and sea stars as well, good food.
Good luck!!!!

Copper Island has a couple good spots. Sail around and map it will show up.

This is still up to date for the regions it discusses.

There is a lot of generic weed about. That's just for looks. Then you have the very specific ones you can harvest and these can be mapped as said above. They are in quite specific locations and not just everywhere like the cosmetic stuff.
