I made this Sea Stalk farming guide to help out players who want to farm the herbs instead of buying them from the Auction House. You can pick Sea Stalk with BfA Herbalism skill 1, but the rank 2 and rank 3 requires higher Herbalism skill. Higher ranks allow you to gather this herb more effectively, so you will get more herbs overall.
Sea Stalk only grows near the sea.

How to speed up farming
Battle for Azeroth introduces three new items that you can use to speed up farming herbs. You should use these if you can find them cheap at the Auction House, or craft it yourself if you can.
[Monel-Hardened Stirrups] - You can gather while mounted.
[Monel-Hardened Hoofplates] - Increase mount speed by 20%.
[Coarse Leather Barding] - Prevents you from being dazed. (mobs won't dismount you)
The one I would recommend the most is [Monel-Hardened Stirrups], which lets you gather herbs while mounted. Every mob scales to your level in Battle for Azeroth, so it will be hard to avoid the mobs attacking you while you try to farm herbs. If you have the 
[Sky Golem] mount, you can use that instead of the Monel-Hardened Stirrups
If your class has a tanking spec, you should switch to that while farming, so you won't get dazed and you don't have to use Coarse Leather Barding.
Don't forget to enchant your gloves with 
[Enchant Gloves - Zandalari Herbalism] or [Enchant Gloves - Kul Tiran Herbalism]! This enchant brings gathering time down from 1.5 seconds to 0.5 seconds. This is really important if you gather while mounted because mobs can still interrupt your casting.
Stormsong Valley - route 1
You will have to fight a lot of mobs here if you don't have the enchants I recommended above, so you might have better luck at other routes.
Zuldazar
Start from the red X and gather herbs until you reach the other red X, then use the flight master to fly back from where you started.
Nazmir
The herbs are a bit spread apart, but you will mostly get Sea Stalk.
Stormsong Valley - route 2
You will get a lot of Riverbud and Sea Stalk here. Really good route, since you can avoid fighting most mobs.
Tiragarde Sound
You will also get a lot of Riverbud, and some Siren's Pollen.
Tiragarde Sound
This is a good route if you just want a little bit from everything. You will get mostly Sea Stalk and a few dozen from all other herbs. (no Akunda's Bite)
