If you are on a public beach and the drift wood is less than 10 yards from the water you can collect drift wood to the best of my knowledge unless the wood is considered an endangered or otherwise restricted item, it most likely isn't as I'm sure your local paper would have covered that at some point.0 yards would be a safe bet to collect anything from sanded glass, shells, driftwood or non-endangered sea creatures if you wish. You can eyeball the 10 yard measurement from the high tide mark as well.
Once again. Driftwood is actually NOT what you should be looking for. Bog wood is preferred. Driftwood is called driftwood because it drifts on the tides, and if it drifts it floats. Also much of the driftwood on the West Coast is composed of softwood like pine and fir. You do NOT want to use these woods in your tank.Bog wood on the other hand is primarily hard wood. used to boil wood at a slow boil in a big pot for 2 or 3 hours. I don't know if it has to be that long or not, but it worked! It killed the tannin and also made sure the wood became water logged. Small peices of hardwood or swahala wood can sometimes still float, but after boiling they sink.
