I realize that mollusks are part of our precious natural wildlife resources. Therefore.....
 | I WILL make every effort to protect and preserve them not only for my own future enjoyment but the benefit of generations to come. |
| | I WILL always leave every shelling spot as undisturbed as possible. |
| | I WILL take only those specimens needed for my collection and for exchange at the time…shells in a box cannot reproduce while I am waiting for a place to send them. |
| | I WILL leave behind the damaged and young specimens so that they may live and multiply |
| | I WILL NOT collect live egg cases unless they are to be used for study and then only small quantities. |
| | I WILL NEVER "clean out a colony" of shells. |
| | I WILL practice and promote these conservation rules in every way possible. |
