Also one thing I saw a few weeks ago was a couple of tourists who had snorkeled come into shore with a live conch. They wanted the shell(which you can buy from any number of beach guys). A Jamaican fellow "helped" them by continuously slamming the shell into the hard sand eventually killing the resident and thus they had their shell. No one to my knowledge kept the conch to eat. It was too late by the time we approached them to try to stop it. What a waste.
