This article is informative. I’ve seen reviews on other sites where people have been fined for taking shells. To be honest, I didn’t realize it was illegal to take the small shells but knew that conch shells were not okay. I googled it on one trip when I was tempted to take one home that I found. Ended up leaving it behind for others to enjoy. Have been guilty of taking those tiny white spiral shaped shells though.
Don't have any conch shells...and that's all I'm admitting!

I did put it together-painting, small jars of sand, a few shells and coral, driftwood, etc. I guess since mine are okay because they are not leaving the island(I can always put everything back on the beach), however; the items I bought and saw were for sale for visitors to take home.
Until this year, I used to bring back coral and shells for my SIL because she would place them on her son's grave when she would visit. I'd bring back a quart sized bag and never had an issue and I did not know it was not allowed.
My friend's son in law tried to bring back three tiny shells-fit in the palm of his hand with room to spare-in Jan and was fined $50.
