Dear all, for anyone familiar with the Fort Pickens area, I have a question. It is fairly cool down here in Pensacola. I went to Fort Pickens yesterday and I managed to locate some grass beds. I scooped the beds with a hand net but I did not bring up the expected Turbo castanea or Conus jaspideus. Does the cold have something to do with this? I have found turbo peices washed up, but I have never found one live. Also, could I find limpets or chitons on the jetties? I went there also, but I just found Plicatula gibbosa and slipper shells. I do suspect it's the cold, and if it is let me know.
