>Hi Ron:

What island would you like to visit? There are 7 important islands and more
or less all of them are good for collecting, but the methods vary depending
on each one.
I live in Lanzarote and I can tell you that you can collect under rocks at
low tide and snorkelling or diving. There are very interesting sps. as Conus
guanche, Conus pulcher
and other sps.
By other side I have not collected shells on beaches. Maybe because the
continental platform is very short and the tides don't bring shells.
If you want more information, write me to my particular e-mail.
Greetings
JAVIER
