Thank you Andrew,

Ok, no problem if I get any information about the
wide-ombilicum nautilus or get a shell from there, I
let you know.

So Indonesia seems to be ok with reasonable shell
harvesting! Great!

If anybody has some good infos on cowries or any other
shell collecting spot there, I'm still curious about
it!

Cheers

Fabien G.
