	Canadian island and its lives rest on seaweed - The Boston Globe
		We were on an island we had reached over a sandbar at low tide, off the east coast of Grand Manan Island in New Brunswick, and one thing was certain: This was no ordinary Friday night for my friend Sarah and me, Bostonians both.
		Grand Manan considers itself the ''dulse capital of the world" and residents earn their living by hand-picking the edible seaweed at low tide, drying it on fields of beach rocks, then selling it to a local cooperative, which ships it around the world.
		Although Grand Manan belongs to New Brunswick, it's just 8 miles off the coast of Maine (and about 21 miles from the Canada mainland) and is accessible from Eastport, Maine, by way of Deer Island, Campobello Island, (home of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt's rustic 34-room summer cottage), and Letete in southern New Brunswick.
