NPR this was a lovely video. The Sea Forager has a phenomenal spirit and a clear sense of love for the nature he is foraging from! It was really fascinating and showed off some delightful people and animals. Loved the hand-drawn animation!

Great job Kirk! One of my inspirations that got me started with sea foraging. Check out his book if you guys haven't!

More of these types of videos please 🙏🏾

This is what true happiness looks like. What a wealthy man and wife.

Exelente video . Me encantan los frutos de mar, pero acá en Mardel plata donde vivo. Hay marea roja!😮🙃

Good. Just harvest what you eat. Refill the clam holes. “Take” and be a steward as well.

I want to say that fishing spot so bad. But thanks for the book Kirk.

[RUDYAKAHALIBU]

I'm starting to wonder if I should work less and just gather my own food then spending so much money for it.
Things I need bucket, hook, wire, pot and small burner. Naaaa I'm spoiled I'll work for now, thanks Kirk at least I'll know where the foods at.

Do you need a state license to harvest mussels and calms? Do you need to register with the state to earn money leading "classes" to show people how to exploit tidepool resources? How long is that mussel bed going to last? Just asking.

I’m waiting to see something new from Kirk Lombard.

[extremelycareless]

people are arguing about eating clams? who knew?

[garfoonga]

I find raw chicken to be the best crab bait ever.

[NOSOUND]

I would let them in clean water for few hours

Hipsters go fishing: I expected nothing less from NPR

[Clearcup]

This is ok, but deermeatfordinner is better.

Why are you supporting fishing? Everything in this video is wrong and he's having the time of his life killing every creature he can find!
Please, provide us music or interesting facts! Not primitive people who still think fishing isn't murder.
