FIELD TRIPS


Field Trips are only open to Sarasota Shell Club members...

.....If you are interested in joining our club, click here for information and an application for membership.  NOTE:  Members must sign a Release of Liability (bottom of membership application) in order to participate on any field trips with our club. 

Field Trips are scheduled to local bays, beaches and fossil shell pits for the purpose of collecting for personal collections.  Through contact from outside sources, information regarding trips to worldwide shelling locations is made available to members along with special members-only pricing on certain trips/packages. 

Many of our field trips are scheduled to coincide with low tide.  Florida resident members over age 65 are not required to have a fishing license.  Resident members under 65 years old are required by Florida law to have one.  Please be observant of these regulations.  Fishing licenses are available at car registration sites.

Complete details, including cost and instructions on how to sign up for scheduled field trips can be found in the latest Beaui, Newsletter of the Sarasota Shell Club. If you did not receive your copy via e-mail or regular mail, you may view the latest issue by clicking on the link to our Newsletter web page.  There will also be information available at our next meeting.
