A Shell Collector's code of ethics

Make sure that I leave things as I found them during my shelling trips.

Return all objects I move or look under to their original positions.

Refill the holes I dig and the burrows I uncover.

Take only those specimens that I know I can clean and use.

Leave behind the damaged and young specimens, so that they may reproduce.

Leave behind no trash or litter, and discard no burning material.

Build fires with care but only where legal and permissible.

Obey all wildlife laws.

Always use good outdoor manners.
