Its hard to imagine what would habe happened had they just placed the seashells back and let her off with a warning.
We are talking about 40 here, not 4. They are also routinely overexploited.

Was it wrong to rob that bank?

My arse. 40 shells means she was harvesting for business purposes. She knew what she was doing.

Eta: I didnt see how many she took- 40 shells is a bit much

I want to say that taking an empty shell is legal, but taking a shell with a live conch is illegal. I doubt a tourist like that would be able to find 40 empty shells. 40 shells takes up a ton of space.

I have a large shell collection, but you can do so in a responsible fashion. I have a group of what I've found snorkeling or on the beach. I have another group that I've bought from the estates of shell collectors. You can also get them as they show up in trawling nets.
I try not to get them from divers but I'm sure I have a few.

That’s odd. They sell conch at damn near every restaurant in the keys.
Posted on 7/19/18 at 10:49 am to crimsonsaint
And they're delicious.

Is she hot? This a key factor in determining her guilt..

I touched a manatee in Florida. Suck it.

The also sell spiny lobster at every restaurant, but I will be going to jail if I have more than 6 per person on my boat . Also most of those[conch] come from elsewhere

Did she have a dump truck to move 40 conch, that has to weigh a good bit
Posted on 7/19/18 at 11:05 am to BowDownToLSU
I believe she was getting some as gifts but 40 of them?
She was gonna put 3/4 of them online to sell
