We are currently working on a redesign of these pages and revisiting the content within them, so this is good timing. I'd be interested in hearing the other errors; I'll send you my contact info, and that of the team member working on the overhaul. Joseph,

The most egregious deals with collection of conchs. The implication is 1). that members of the family Melongenidae are "conchs" in the same sense as Strombus gigas and 2). that collection of anything the general public regards as a "conch" is therefore prohibited. As the Queen Conch does not occur this far north the assertion is doubly misleading. Aside from Manatee and Lee counties shelling prohibitions and the "no-take" areas in federal areas, the rest of the state has few shell collecting prohibitions. We can provide other errata upon request. Thank you. There are several errors in the text. The most egregious deals with collection of conchs.
