Dear All:

We are planning a trip to Brazil sometime this year, specifically to Rio
and possibly to Sao Paulo (and/or another local if the shelling is good
there) . Can anyone give us some tips on good collecting locations for
marine or terrestrial shelling around these cities? Are there any
restrictions on collecting molluscs in Brazil? Are there any new travel
restrictions on U.S. citizens in answer to the recent and ridiculous
registration of Brazilian citizens entering the U.S.?

Thanks in advance,
                              Andrew.
