Thank you for mentioning ethical shelling again! When I was in Sanibel I went into a shell store. Before looking at the shells though I asked the two ladies working there if the shells were ethically taken or(farmed). Was so disturbed when they both looked at me as if I were from Mars and said they had never heard of such a thing. Even the ones that were collected in Sanibel they say they didn't know. I left empty handed except for a hat that I needed. I'm happy that you are showing people a better way to collect and sell!
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife 3 жыл бұрын
I was horrified to find out that some shells are "harvested" and I know others who have quit making beach decor items because the shells they were buying weren't ethically collected. There is a shell shop on Sanibel that I went into (probably the same one you visited) and my husband and I bought rings and nothing else since I had no idea where the shells came from. I'll be sure to periodically mention this in future videos to keep people informed 🐚 Thanks so much for watching and coming along with me on my beach walk!

I started watching your videos then and I've been watching them every week. A lot of the shells we found, I had no idea what they were until I watched your videos. We found some Florida fighting conxhs, banded tulips, spiny jewel boxes and a bunch of olives among other things! My son's favorite was the giant Atlantic Cockle because it was HUGE! Your shelling videos are the best!

What a fantastic shelling trip! That first flat with the zig-zag coloring - awesome! So many great finds from the little orange scallop to the beautiful colors of the small and medium horse conchs and those FF conchs... man, they were really puttin' on a show with their fancy patterns and colors. At 5:10 you find the albino lightning whelk... I noticed it had what appeared to be some major repair work in the upper shell area... it made the shell look a little out of balance and the bottom of the spire looked chipped or something, but that might have just been the lighting/glare on it. It was very beautiful, but clearly that critter would have had a harrowing story to tell.

No you are right, that albino shell was missing some pieces in places. Can you imagine what it must look like alive? I would LOVE to find one of those! Maybe one of these days. There is so much to appreciate out on the beach!!! 🐚❤️

LOVED watching your shelling on this beach! I only wish there was a way to make the shells you are seeing in slow motion, so we could better see what all is there. Too, when you show us a shell, could you still let us see the others around it while you show the one in your hand at the side? I think this life you lead is a perfectly beautiful life❤️

@@SWFBeachLife I can't wait. And I live 5 mins from the beach. Not much shells. More seaweed. I have seen seashells hung in the trees though. We call them prayer or message trees. And you are right...they are beautiful. Here in Nova Scotia we don't get long shelling seasons. We get too hot and too cold (frozen). And I've never seen a sand dollar with holes in it. Cool.
