Hello there, I was wondering if anyone knows if it is legal to collect shells that are washed up on the beaches in the US Virgin Islands, specifically St. Thomas? I collect dead, beach shells as a hobby gone awry. Also, can anyone suggest some good places otherwise in the Caribbean. I am not interested in snorkeling or diving for shells - I simply like to collect from the beach. Thank you for your time and the information. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [log in to unmask] - a forum for informal discussions on molluscs To leave this list, click on the following web link: http://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=conch-l&A=1 Type your email address and name in the appropriate box and click leave the list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
