Greetings Conchlanders,
Hello Bill Frank. I live in Fort Lauderdale and saw a TV news story on the
population
of Queen Conchs (Strombus gigas) increasing. That was just last week. It is
good too see.I have been diving and beachcombing in South Florida since 1961
and have never
bought any shells from a shell shop. (sorry owners) It always makes me cringe
when
I see the huge warehouse type stores such as in the Keys and think that we are
forbidden to to take specimens from the water. Maybe before too long the
situation
will change. Hopefully that news story is correct.
Best regards,
Brad
