I'm not an avid sheller and I don't know whether there is a local or
regional club that might host a meeting here in New Orleans. But the
meeting facilities are world class and there's a lot of fun to be had
in general. For the divers among you, there are hundreds of
accessible offshore oil and gas platforms and some deeper divable
banks. But the the East and West Flower Garden Banks is a marine
sanctuary and off limits to collecting. The fauna is largely
subtropical Carolinean, and the Flower Gardens are about the farthest
north, North American hermatypic reefs.
Don't even try to come during Mardi Gras or the Jazz Fest, though.
The summer is good if you can take the heat.

Yeah!!
I'd even make a special effort to make that(since I've never
been to one anyway!!). Being from Montana it's hard to get to
an Eastern State too often, but I'd make an effort to get to the
Bahamas again!!
