Return of turban shells in Chumporn after 20 years of absence

Residents of Lamae district of the southern province of Chumporn flocked to the Ban Laem beach Saturday morning to pick up turban shells (hoi Tawua) which they claimed had disappeared from the Gulf of Thailand for about two decades.

 

With one hand holding a plastic bucket or small net, the shell hunters were seen strolling with their eyes focused on the beach to look for the rare turban shells which were washed ashore by waves.

 

Once they had enough catch, they started peeling off the shells for the meat inside which, they said, fetches good price in the market because of its good taste.

Wow, the rare species has returned. Quick, help me eat them all!

The moral of the story: There was no moral in this story.

How short -sighted and selfish is that?

Shell fish not seen in 2 decades,reappear only to be scooped up and eaten, no thought about allowing them to breed, so there would be more for the future, get them now, quick before anybody else sees them./

Not sure why not seen as they only live in water up to 10 mtr deep

They are Snails

Common throughout SE Australasia
