The story of Micro shells
L̂͂Ȃ
Formerly,
we had been able to find micro shells on sandy beaches everywhere.
To our
regret, it has gotten difficult for us to find them, because of the engineering
works for bay protection and shore protection, resort development, and ocean
pollution.
For the first year, the Nima Sand Museum had the experience corner
where visitors
were able to pick up a shell in the sand of Kotoga beach,
since it opened March 3th, 1991.
However, the number of UCHIAGE-GAI
remarkably fell since the next year,
so we couldn't collect the sand containing
micro shells, in the end we closed the corner without how to do.

Yearly, I hoped the shells were washed up on the beach, but in the second and the third Spring tide ,
we weren't able to find the micro-shells performing the gorgeous fashion show on the beach.
Mr.Okamoto looks back in the magazine " Shell of Kyushu ",
Tsuyazaki was the richest place for a kind of drifting seashells in Fukuoka Prefecture in 1940's.
Many micro shells drift ashore on the beach 1km from the central part in the city.
The shells which was collected in the beach were more than 400 species.
"Long time ago, shells had lived here." Shell of Kyushu No19,20 union issue (1983)
Then, he listed name of seashells for the magazine that was many there in 1940's.but UCHIAGE-GAI even got a few as not to speak of micro shells. I gather globigerinas, too,
but globigerinas decrease remarkably, too.
I think this is the one evidence that the fearful death of Nature is progressing fast in the invisible world.
I would be very happy that the shells Data base be useful to you. @
