Museum of Comparative Zoology

More of a scientific site than a shell site. Links to a library, collection,s, and a search. Other links to creatures that inhabit the Earth. A department of Harvard.
Boston Malacological Club – Home
2/28/2009
A new site. One of the oldest shell clubs in the US. A nice collection of links. A nice addition would be a picture of the state shell.
Humboldt Bay Recreation & Conservation District
2/28/2009
Not really a “shell” site but related. Links to a lot of information. Humboldt Bay in CA is important in all aspects of conservation, recreation, and the economy of California. Site has a nice feature, point to a menu item and a sub menu pops up. I guess the large blank spot at the top of all the pages is reserved for a picture. Check out this site and expand your knowledge of the world.
The Museum of New Zealand
1/29/2009
/. I didn’t find any shell info. or pictures. Museums are part of the shell world. Worth a visit. A kids area, learning area, collections online search, etc. Navigation menu is hard to see and menu is above page you went to. In other words the link you clicked requires scrolling down the new page to view info. you want. The museum also has links to food, catering, and the like that might be useful if you visit NZ. Not too shell related but I know it now.
Mote Marine Laboratory,

No shell items to see but this is where we had a COA welcome party when we had it at Tampa. This museum might interest some people. A talk about a giant squid and a scientist who went to New Zealand to take part in studying the animal eas given.
The Living Would of Mollusks
1/29/2009
A long web address but site is full of information. A tricky navigation menu. A great tool for kids to learn about Mollusks. Fair pictures. Give it a try.

Photos of Hawaiian seashells and information on Hawaii, Geology, restaurants, lodgings, etc.
