Hey Mark,
There is a guy in Panama named James Ernest . He is on the Pacific side. He
lives on an island and takes groups shelling. From what I understand, most
of it is intertidal or dredging. The people I have talked to say that the
intertidal collecting is terrific. The last address I had for Ernest is: Box
831, Balboa, Ancon, Republic of Panama. The fax is: 011-507-2277-6249. Might
be worth contacting him. I have been aching to get down there myself, so be
sure and post your trip results and any info you on the area.

Good luck and all the best,
