Curious, your Strombus gigas, how deep did you collect it at?

Subject: [CONCH-L] Conchs in Florida Keys

Hello from Key West
I have lived in KW my whole life and we had and have Strombus gigas.Over
20
years ago the state of Florida put a ban on collecting of conchs.That
was
due in part to the over collecting for commerical use of the meat.Today
we
have conchs inshore and on the reef.I don't know of anywhere in Key West
that imported sand destoryed the breeding grounds.So far no oil either
