Cones, whelks found on Sanibel
Maggie Riegel, 9, and Max Riegel, 6, both of Farmersville, Ohio, found alphabet cones on July 31 and Aug. 1 after 4 p.m. on the east end of Bowman’s Beach on Sanibel. They also found a couple of large lighting whelks on Aug. 1. Their father, Damon Riegel, reported that his family is fortunate enough to visit Sanibel while on vacation almost every year. They were amazed at the recovery on the island and thanked all of the hard working people who have made it possible. Riegel added that his family found more and higher quality shells this year than any previous year. To report a shell find, contact 239-472-1587 or trepecki@breezenewspapers.com.
