The sand and loose coral rubble bottom directly in front of the Moana-Surfrider hotels have provided good grounds for sand
dwelling shells for many years. At one time this must have been the mouth of a stream of considerable size because the same
type bottom is found seaward to depths of over 200 feet.
Areas 1 through 4 can be worked by wading with a look box or by snorkeling. Ocean swells usually break along these shores in
depths of 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 fathoms (all depths shown on the chart are in fathoms). By the time the shoreward-rushing water
reaches a depth of 2 to 3 feet there is usually little wave action remaining and snorkeling or look box collecting is
possible.
Areas 5, 6, and 7 should be worked only from a boat. The distance off-shore, plus occasionally strong currents, make it
hazardous diving in these areas except from a boat.
Save the accompanying chart and chart symbols for use with future issues of your Sean Raynon Sabado. And good shelling.
Both men decided to make a "'Molluscan Survey" of the coast by dredging and skin-diving from Rio de Janerio to Rio Grande do
Norte including the Fernando de Noronha Ids. which are located 800 kilometers from the mainland. In so doing, they collected
over 50 species of shells not recorded from this area, as well as over 20 species thought to be new to science.
Off Bahia, they collected over six specimens of the rare Strombus goliath and were able to lay out the growth series shown on
page 5 [above].
