Description
Pulled up a shell one day while snorkeling and look who was looking at me. The Queen Conch is now on the endangered species list in the Bahamas because the demand for this tasty delicacy now outshines their ability to reproduce. Please be responsible when traveling! Don't worry, she went right back in the water.

Thank you Allison. It was very unusual her it to stay visible when I picked it up. They are being severely over fished in the Caribbean and farming them is iffy at best.
