In the water and on land, people on Lido Beach are spending a lot of time looking down. A renourishment project has uncovered mounds of shells and pushed them onshore, stretching more than a mile long. MORE: www.fox13news....

I always loved searching the beach early in the mornings when we went on vacation, as a child, it was so nice finding natural rare treasures. Fond memories....

My mom told us, when she was a teenager, circa 1945-1950, they used to make coquina stew from the coquinas you get right in the sand! And they used to drag a chicken neck, tied on a string, down the shoreline of Lido Beach, and catch Blue Crabs. But back then, most of the island wasn't developed, and North Lido had a canal running thru a very dense Mangrove Forest which was thriving with many creatures. When i was a little boy i used to explore there - climbing thru the Mangrove branches & roots, catching Kilifish and playing with Fiddler Crabs and Horseshoe Crabs. I could walk straight through to the Bay. Once i saw Raccoons digging for food, and saw many beautiful birds. I could just imagine how much more rich in wildlife it was in pre-Columbian America.

Thanks for the informative comment very interesting, i live in central canada so i dont have the blessing of enjoying the ocean, however i have visited the west coast frequently and love being surrounded by nature and the ocean beaches. On the island specifically vancouver island, there has been native canadian populations living there for thousands of years, in the mountains where the ocean meets, there is no sand meaning all these islands around and beaches of sand, were formed by these native canadian populations collecting thousands of sea shells for thousands of years eventually breaking down into sand forming layers of a beach over the rocky bottom of the ocean surface

I think you should leave them on the beach and just take photos. Hermit crabs rely on shells for their home and tourism is forcing them to die homeless or use human trash as a less efficient alternative.

The shells are really nice, but if it is allowed, people should be out there with metal detectors scouring the spoils of that renourishment project. All you Florida "transplants" and young people living down there do not know about the gold rush that occurred after Hurricane Donna roared through the Florida West Coast in 1960. Us young children were told by our adult neighbors back in 1964 when we first moved to Florida about the beachcombers who went down along the beaches of Sarasota and Manatee County after the hurricane had passed who found scattered Spanish gold doubloons in the sand at the extreme low tides. Not all that many doubloons were found but those found were prized-finds by a bunch of lucky people. That would have been back in the days when Meteorologist Roy Leep was with WTVT. I was told years later when I was a teenager that the source of the Spanish gold coins was never found and, if they came from a sunken Spanish galleon, the wreckage would still be "out there" in the Gulf and is most probably buried under tons of sand and silt which was stirred up BIG TIME at the time of Hurricane Donna. I wouldn't be surprised if all that current dredge material contains a few valuable items such as Spanish treasure. If anybody finds any Spanish treasure in those renourishment project spoils, DON'T TELL A SOUL NO MATTER HOW EXCITED YOU MAY BE because, with today's never-ending laws, the State of Florida would want to confiscate it from you.

@@ah-mp4xvour oceans are certainly dying. I agree with you. However the mollusks that lived in these shells died of natural causes thankfully. their shells are just being uncovered by the dredgers which are very harmful to the marine environment unfortunately.

She sell sea shells on the sea store, but the value of these shells will fall. Due to the laws of demand, nobody wants to buy them, because there is load on the sand.
