Hehe, free petroleum distillation by-products to run your electric generator with 

Luckily, the coast here is pristine (comparitively speaking). Mostly touristy and very small fishing villages...No industry to speak of really...Sucks for the economy, but frikin great in every other way.

Yeah, seems hard to beat for TE's (and a real good amount of Mg and K). Looking at the TE analysis of MaxiCrop and sea water...almost identical. Except this didn't come of the Jersey coast, so I bet the heavy metal content (things you find in MaxiCrop like Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Nickel, Mercury...stuff I don't want ANY of in my system, or at least as little as possible)... are much lower or non-existent in the sea salt here...

Unfortunately Maxicrop, on the unwanted heavy metals side clocks in at <10ppm Arsenic, <5.0ppm Lead, <0.5ppm Cadmium,

 <1.0 Nickel,  <0.05 Mercury

Kelpak (same shit as MaxiCrop...Auxins, Cytokinins, TE's...only its algae is harvested off the coast of S.Africa is a good deal  better and clocks in at 

>0.5ppm Arsenic,  <1.2ppm Lead, <0.1ppm Cadmium, <0.1ppm Nickel, <0.05ppm Mercury

And then we have sea water (and hence its variuos mineral salts
