Variety of Seashells as Souvenir Items. (Actually, its ILLEGAL!)

These seashells are sold at Lantaka Hotels' premises. Actually, selling seashells without the permission of the local government is illegal. Obtaining permit should be done first before selling any seashell souvenir  items. Its been the livelihood of most of the local residents in the area to sell seashells as souvenir items, which is quite alarming because it causes environmental degradation and harm to the marine environment. But, considering the fact that the local residents doesn't have an alternative business to sustain their daily needs. Exquisite isn't it??? Colorful and beautiful.
