Hi All;

I am going to have the opportunity to go to the Caribbean or Mexico, and need
to ask if anyone knows where it is still legal to collect shells, including
landsnails???

I also wanted to share an article from an old Smithsonian magazine (January
1987).  They feature the work of Jaqui Manoff, whose elegant and "botanically
accurate" shell flower arrangements impressed even biologically oriented
folks such as myself.

Thanks in advance,

Martin Kohl
