Many of you probably have great beachcombing stories of interesting finds. Tonight's NBC nightly news featured a story (see also patriotledger.com) about a tag from a Massachusetts lobster trap that was lost in the 1991 "Perfect Storm" 20 years ago and which was found by a beachcomber in Ireland recently. She used Facebook to trace the name on the tag to the fishermen's son. Scientists estimate the tag traveled 3000 miles over 20 years before washing ashore. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
