Inputs and outputs
- Makes Seaweed (kelp, wrack): coast fields (fertilizer every year), Sheep Barn and Cattle Barn (island winter fodder); Kelp ash: Glassworks (soda), Soap boiler

Range rule
shore cells within 24 m, richest after storms; coast only
Why it is interesting
Storms throw free fertilizer onto coast fields; burnt to kelp ash it becomes the glassmakers' soda instead.
