Dear all:
        I am conducting a survey to locate all collectors of freshwater mollusks (US
species only).  Please email me privately at [log in to unmask] with your response
for the following:
 
Name:
Address:
email:
What you collect:  snails, clams, mussels, all
Status:      professional                       hobbyist                both
 
In addition: If you are a professional, do you also maintain a your own
private collection.
 
Do you hold a federal permit?
 
List the states for which you hold permits:
 
 
After the responses cease I will report the overall results.  Individual
records will be kept confidential.  When the survey is complete I will also
report the reason for the survey; a reason which if known up front could bias
the survey.
 
If you know of other collectors who are not a part of CONCH-L please forward
this request to them.  Those without email may send their responses to the
address below.  Thank you for your help.
