International marine scientists have regarded the Philippines as the "Center of Marine Biodiversity" in the world, surpassing the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. With this in mind, the Philippines has the international obligation to protect and conserve its rich marine biodiversity because if these species are lost, then the rest of the world will also be affected.

This site hopes to provides access to information about one of the Paradise Philipines' conchological treasures - the mollusks! It aims to promote and encourage an exchange of information and increase awareness among individuals interested in studying and collecting seashells or shell enthusiasts from all walks of life.

See the wonders of the sea and be fascinated by the hobby of seashell collecting.
