Hi
I am really please to hear you are in Baja now. I hope you like it, I had a quick look on the search engines and it looks a lovely place.
I do not have any particular recommendations about the sea plant life other than it may be a good idea to listen to some of the local folk-law; as to the uses to which the plans may have been put, by some of the locals.
Maybe some of the fishermen’s mothers could tell you a few interesting stories and you could try their suggestions out and see how you get on.
Or you may just want to relax and enjoy the beauty of the scene and just appreciate the diversity and aliveness of the place and absorb its essence into your soul.
I wish you luck on all your adventures.
