The Art of Shelling: A Complete Guide to Finding Shells and Other Beach Collectibles at Shelling Locations from Maine to Florida

A complete guide to finding shells and other beach collectibles at shelling locations from Florida to Maine

Chuck and Debbie Robinson have been interested in seashells since childhood. They each began collecting shells at the New Jersey Shore. Together they have been combing beaches since 1984. Their quest for shells and other beach collectibles has taken the Robinsons to the beaches of Canada, "Down East" Maine, Massachusetts, Virgina, the Carolinas, the east and west coasts of Florida, and the Florida Keys. They have also been shelling in the Bahamas, Bermuda, St.Martin, and in the United States Virgin Islands.

The Robinsons educate the community about shells and shelling through slide programs and shell displays.

Chuck Robinson is also an avid photographer. A popular project is his slide presentation "Atlantic Coast Seashells."

Debbie Robinson has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology and a Masters of Science Degree in Education Student Personel Services. She is currently a director at Ocean County College, Toms River, New Jersey.
