Sea Shells On The Jersey Shore
Personal memory by Richard Bullitt
1960 CE • Mantoloking, NJ, USA
When I was young, we always found dozens of huge clam shells on the beach, 5 or 6 inches across, big enough to use as ash trays or scoops for digging in the sand. There have been many wonderful efforts to protect and repair Barnegat Bay and the ocean, but the clam shells are still gone.
