Paul, you account of dredging was very interesting. Can you tell
us more please?
- how do you pick dredging sites?
- what kind of sea bottom substrate do you dredge in? (I assume
  it is a "no-no" for coral reefs). Is it primarily sandy sea
  floor? Mudflats?  Can it be done in grass beds without too much
  environmental impact?
- What else do you get besides shells? (any bottom-dwelling fish
  and crustaceans? )
 
Gosh Paul, you know so much!!! :-)
 
cheers,
        Shireen
