An odd section
[edit]I removed this part, which appears to have been simply tacked on at the end of the Geography section:
- Types of shells on Sanibel and Captiva Island: Captiva Island is famous for its variety of different and unique shells found on the island. They include Conch shells, Junonia Shells, Lightning Whelk shells, Cockle shells, tulip shells, Sand dollar shells, Olive shells, and Coquinas shells. “Shells and their inhabitants play an important role in Sanibel and Captiva islands ecology. They help keep our sand neatly in place and restock it with more as they’re crushed by waves and other forces. They provide food for birds and fish. The scavenging and filtering performed by certain mollusks help cleanse Gulf waters.”
There is no citation, no indication at all whom the quote is from. Plus all of these shells are by no means "unique" as they are found elsewhere in the Gulf and many in other parts of Florida and the Caribbean, plus overall this section is rather poorly written. If it can be re-done with a citation, I will link the shell species in it to the relevant articles. Invertzoo (talk) 01:43, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
