For many people, seashells are just part of the beach
scenery--thousands of pretty but nameless objects strewn along the
shore. Other people know the names of shells but often wonder how
they were formed and what type of animal lived inside. Such
incidental knowledge may not seem important, but it can encourage
people to observe their environment more closely and to gain a
better understanding of it. As a result, they may become better
fishers, more informed teachers or more conscientious stewards of
our coast. To this end, the seashell guide was produced. Many
collectors get started when they find an intriguing shell, perhaps
after a storm, and search for it in a guide. Others, by chance,
meet an experienced sheller on the beach. Talking with a collector
passionate about shells is likely to spark an interest in anyone
who has spent time at the coast. A walk down the beach is never the
same once you begin to recognize a few shells. Gradually, you learn
to use certain marks to solve the puzzle of shell identification.
The walk becomes more satisfying as you recognize familiar shells
like old friends, and it becomes more exciting as you look for new
ones.
