Is this an achievable goal for someone living in New England, near the coast? Has anyone attempted it?
Catching your own brine shrimp?

What? This makes no sense. You won't just find tons of seamonkies chilling at the beach.
Besides, why would you want to catch a live population of brine shrimp when you can essentially grow them out of a packet and some water?

No, I didn't expect to find the creatures strolling the beach while I tan in a lawn chair. I sought to actually enter the water....
Boat, or if possible netting off shore. I am just unsure of the where/how of getting them - are they even native to the New England coast?
Regarding growing my own population of shrimp, I didn't realize there were products available to begin a colony from scratch.
Growing it will be much easier and produce far larger results

Yea you can get a million eggs mailed to your house and they'll hatch in a soda bottle with a bubbler. For 15$ you can get a base that you screw a 2liter into, cut the bottom off, and hook an air hose into a port in the base. Dump the eggs in and sit it on a window sill. In a day or two youll have brine shrimp.

They live in inland lakes (not freshwater types) and not in the ocean. In theory you could catch them, although I don't think there are any such lakes in New England, but you'd never catch enough to offset the cost of the boat and fuel.
