| Description |
Seagrass meadows harbour plenty of molluscan shells and Mandapam in the Gulf of Mannar is well known site for seashell collection. Ornamental shells like milky white Tellina angulata, Paper shell (Arca sp. and Cardium sp.) are collected from several locations in the local seagrass meadows. In the earlier days, seashells were collected from the surf zones and beach sand by sieving sand using hand-made circular sieves and was used as food (shellfish meat), construction (shell lime) and also for making shell ornamentals. |
