I am assembling information for a Web page on the Jacksonville Shell Club Site listing all the shelling bans / restrictions for the State of Florida. Any information you would care to submit should be addressed to me privately at one of the E-mail addresses listed below. What I am primarily interested in are "Local" bans or restrictions - not otherwise readily available - and a citation of where the information came from. As an example, the collection of "oysters, mussels, and clams" is permanently prohibited here in Duval County due to poor water quality and was imposed by the Florida Department of Enviromental Protection on 1 Feb., 1996. Source was local newspaper and a Biology Professor at a local university.
