## Resource

Winter storms in southern Western Australia are unleashing a shell frenzy on beaches, revealing rare treasures like paper nautilus and squid shells—nature’s own treasure chest. While collectors are thrilled, marine biologists warn these shells are vital ecosystem components, used by hermit crabs, birds, and future marine life. To protect the environment, a daily limit of ten shells is enforced, encouraging mindful appreciation through photos or quiet enjoyment. For many, collecting remains a meaningful connection to the ocean—as long as nature’s balance stays intact. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
