撿貝殼 有學問！GO SHELLING!
「每顆貝殼都有一個故事。」"Every seashell has a story."
該到哪裡尋找貝殼呢？
全球各地的海灘都有貝殼的蹤跡。
熱門的「拾貝」地點則從澳洲到南非再到美國，所在多有。
美國佛州薩尼貝爾島更素有「世界貝殼之都」的美稱。
大海在形狀如同回力鏢的薩尼貝爾島海岸線上，留下了數以百萬計的貝殼，包括約莫二百七十五個物種。
在每一處海灘上，仔細探尋那些因海浪沖積而出現的棕色海草；你永遠不會知道那裡可能藏了些什麼。
知道往那裡找貝殼很重要，但懂得何時去找更是已經成功了一半。
退潮前的一個半小時到退潮後的一個半小時之間，是尋找貝殼的最佳時段。
出人意料地，發現貝殼的最佳時機竟然是在颶風或颱風侵襲過後；因為暴風雨通常會帶進為數龐大可觀的貝類。
如果你寧願不去驚擾自己所發現的貝殼，那就拍張照片吧。
這樣讓你仍能欣賞貝殼的美，同時又能集到一組超棒的照片收藏。
下次前往海灘度假時，何不花點時間尋找一下來自大海的寶藏？
Where should you search? Seashells turn up on beaches all over the globe. Popular shelling beaches range from Australia to South Africa to America. Sanibel Island, Florida, has been called, "The Seashell Capital of the World." The ocean leaves behind millions of shells, including around 275 species, on Sanibel's boomerang-shaped coastline.
On every beach, carefully search through the brown sea grass that the waves deposited. You never know what might be hidden there.
Knowing where to look is important, but knowing when to look is half the battle.
Search from 1 ½ hours before low tide to 12 hours after low tide. Surprisingly, the very best time to find seashells is after a hurricane or typhoon. Storms often blow in an enormous number of shells. If you would rather not disturb the shells you find, take pictures. This allows you to still appreciate their beauty and build a great photo collection.
On your next beach trip, why not spend some time searching for treasures from the sea?
