But, let me give you a little background on this. Offshore, disregarding what minor pollution problems we have, it is assumed that there are about as many shells being produced today as five years ago. Well, why aren't there more on the beach then, right? In the past five years there are probably twice as many shelters as there used to be. They used to pick up collector shells, which still wash ashore, but now, everyone is a collector and any shell is © prized. It gets pocketed and taken from the beach. Someone said there are more shelters than shells on some beaches. That's true if you go out on the weekends or major holidays. Sanibel's famous shells might be the Island's own downfall one day.
