This. Grew up in Hawaii and there are plenty of empty shells that will have no wear, all cleaned out by Nature, and you're not killing anything to collect them. Sure you'll find plenty more with some wear, broken, etc but the primo ones are out there.
Aloha Sir, Thank you for tell and show us your beautiful hawaiian cowrie shells and cone shells collection. I am seashell collector and my wife is from Hawaii. 🏝️🐚 Sincerely, DeeAnn & Mark Weber
Wth smh, I have found some breath taking shells here in Hawaii but they have stuff in them so you put them back. And I promise you will find one just like that but with nothing in it.
Why are you taking live shells!? Being from Hawaii we were tought never take anything living unless it's gonna be your meal....bad mana to take living shells just to make your collection.
Yes, I'm born and raised in Hawaii and i dive for shells as well. I was taught that if the shell was still vacant then we put it back. No matter how beautiful the shell is. Respect nature and other species pls.
Dead or alive, if they are flawless, I am taking it as I am a native born Hawaiian, 70 years old and have been diving since I was 8. This is the same scenario as the "save the planet" or "green new deal" where the citizens get penalized for the carbon emissions, while the rest of the world keeps polluting, and moves ahead. All of the ocean species can, with science, be reproduced and re populate. And, by the way, finding a live specimen of any living specimen shell, is almost impossible during the daytime except if you find sand dwellers, with sand trails which will have a close window of opportunity after bottom agitation erases the trails left the night before by these and most other species as they are night dwellers. Tiger cypress is the other exception just due to their size and mantel shape.
SMH youre not supposed to kill them. You are to only find the shell empty.
Hey everyone talking about how he’s so wrong for taking live shells. He said he eats them.
Only collect empty shells

@@nameleomoanikealaAnd if enough people have the same attitude as you, you can destroy an entire population. Watch yourself.
De esa zona creo que tengo pocas conchas jeje muy chulas y sobre todo las Cypraeas. SALUDOS!
Conus episcopatus (labeled "episcopus") in Hawaii??
How much is it worth it to harvest these little guys for that little meat. Put them back
Omg you killing the animals just for their shells really pisses me off.
I want to sell
Shame on you for taking live shells!
Sensei:)
Very Cool
Disliked because missed a ton of other shells from nerites, bivalves, lady slippers, just to name a few.
