In keeping a conscientious attitude regarding the environment, the majority of shells we offer are by-products of the seafood industry. They are gathered for their meat and not soley for their beautiful shells. We do not carry specimen shells which are associated with endangered or threatened species. This is the reason that certain shells may become unavailable from time to time....to prevent over gathering. No shells have been collected by a method called "dynamiting".
Every shell shipment is strictly governed and inspected by the US Department of Fish and Wildlife Service prior to its release. Our import partner is well respected by all Fish and Wildlife agents they have worked with over the past 45 years.
