Hi, is it true that collecting seashells even when the mollusk is not on the shell a bad thing? Some say is bad for the marine ecosystem in general, what are your thoughts on this?
@solaceinshelling65524 ай бұрын
This is a really great question. I am an impassioned shell collector, so I might be a little biased in answering, but essentially removing any native/organic item from an ecosystem has the potential to cause some harm/damage to that ecosystem. With that said, I am a proponent of ethical shell collecting, which can be defined as a sustainable way to observe and collect shells in a way that doesn't harm the environment or the ocean. For example, collecting only few shells you like, then leaving the rest back to nature, or bringing some shells from your collection back to the ocean. There isn't a one size fits all answer here but I also think it's important to understand that there are some areas and ecosystems that may be more prone to damage from general human impacts like excessive foot traffic, over collection, over harvesting, etc. than other areas are. Essentially, I think education is the single best tool you can have in your toolbox to fully understand how humans interact with global ecosystems, including mollusks and mollusk environments - it's critical to read, research and pursue an informed perspective. I always try my best to do this, and share valuable information on this channel when I can! Thanks so much for watching, and asking a awesome question! 💙

Great question! I started included these types of shots early on in my content, and I just sorta liked how they fit with everything... though I do think sometimes it tends to create a melancholy vibe - I am ok with it! I generally attempt to create an experience where the viewer can feel like they are at these locations themselves, without being distracted by talking and narrating etc. While most of my shelling adventures are indeed solo adventures, I often feature close friends and family in them as well. 😃 Thanks for watching!
