Conch Shells

Recommended Posts

Queen Conch (Lobatus gigas aka Strombus gigas) is a threatened species, but limited trade in conch and conch shells is legal. You may export no more than 3 conch shells from Cayman. Any more and you must get a permit from the relevant authorities at CITES.

 

I know one person who has, for many years, sold horns fashioned from conch shells for US$20.
