Shells are incredible beautiful but NEVER take something away from their home just to have a shell sitting on a shelf at home. It is not worth it 🙅‍♀️💙🐚 . Clip and incredible post from @theseashellmermaid 🤙🏽 • Share if you agree 💙⬇️ . Absolutely not, a thousand times no! I don't even keep empty shells with live hitchhikers. . It not only is unethical, it's unsustainable and it's a big reason why so many shells have gone extinct and the reason why many now are on the endangered species list. . If you want to continue beachcombing the rest of your life and also your children and their children, then don't take live shells. . Also note, it's illegal to in many places in the world, including certain places in the US. . A shell is never worth it 💯 . Comment below if you agree! . (this live beauty was found on tour with @reel_kind and was gently placed back in the water) NEVER TAKE LIVE SHELLS. . #seashells #itsalive #seacreatures #sustainability #beachcombing #ethicalshelling #florida #shelling #shells #sealife #swfl #gulfofmexico #reelit #dotherightthing #beachlife #beachcomber #oneocean #oceanconservation
