Good Ocean Karma: A very brief account

Posted on June 3, 2015

I truly believe that you get what you give.  In the case of marine debris, and the fight to educate, prevent, and remove, I find that these good deeds always bring good karma in the form of a day full of nice ridable waves for surfing, really great dive conditions on the day you book a full-day charter, or ocean-floor-ground-scores.

Almost always do I find a special gift from the ocean during my long beach-sweep walks.  Some say, leave only footprints, and take only memories, which is great in most cases.  I like to keep some treasures from the sea (none with critters, of course) and use them as ways to teach others about the sea.

Last week, I found is sweet ocean floor ground score:

This, my friends, is a horse conch.  Horse Conch (Triplofusus giganteu) also called the Florida Horse Conch is the state shell of Florida and is the largest snail to be found in American waters.  They can sometimes reach a length of up to two feet.

This one was found on a free-dive adventure off Bear Island, NC.

Happy Shell Hunting (and beach sweeping)!
