Collecting sea shells?

Hey, you guys -- seeing this article:http://tinyurl.com/2hoe62

surprised me.

I thought you're not supposed to take shells from VI waters.

Can someone set me straight on this, please?

Thanks a lot!

If i'm not mistaken, it's only the National Park where shell collecting and beach combing is verboten.

That's why I'm surprised at the "This Week" cover story!

It sounds like the lady in the story collects shells mainly on St. Thomas - which is not within the National Park so it is legal to do so. On St. John, you are not supposed to take shells from national park areas.

Tons of shells and other "sea souvenirs" are collected at the STT airport as guests leave. You might not have been checked or even asked but I've seen folks have to give 'em up. And they don't bother to ask where you got 'em. (But the best shelling is at Brewers and after a storm).
