I know that when someone wants to use Palo de Arco sticks to build a fence in BdeLA that there is an office in town that requires a not insignificant payment before a Mexican worker can gather the required sticks.

Whatever the reason, it is their country. I'm not a tree-hugger and have been known to pilfer a Pismo clam or 20 on occasion. It just pays to know the rules.

Yes. Something that you "may", not something you "need". I've never had ethical or legal issues with collecting it there. Walking along the beach on a cool winter afternoon is healthy, and collecting driftwood at the same time is easy.

No worries about leaving homeless some creatures, if it's a flotsam on the beach. This would be the least of my worries, considering how much harm we are doing to environment by building our homes there, dumping waste and driving our cars, ATVs and boats.

Edit-PS: about Dos Pinos - yes, pricey. Most items in this store are. A rip off, basically.
