Us, too, over all these years.
I've never found (probably because I've never really looked....) a definitive answer to this question in print, but about fifteen years ago we attended an evening seminar at Mahoe Campground on St. John, and they told us we definitely should NOT remove seashells from the beach as they do recycle back into the sand and natural environment. The rational being if every visitor to the beach brought back just a couple, it would impact the natural seaside environment. I don't know much about this but it sounds reasonable to me....... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
