I would like to thank all who contributed to my last inquiries about the
trade of shells, and as I finish my research I have but one more inquiry to
make.  I need pictures for my presentation on shell collection.  Many of you
informed me of the malicious methods of collection that occur as a result of
tourism and other anthropogenic activities (people walking on reefs,
breaking apart the reef to get at target shells, etc).  Any pictures you may
have that show these activities would be greatly appreciated.  Scanned
images or links to web-posted images can be emailed directly to me at

Also, any tutorials on the proper and improper methods of collection would
be useful.

Again, thank you all for your help with this project.  I hope to publish my
findings soon.
