 Sebastian Inlet (East Central Florida)

Sebastian Inlet is on the county line between Brevard and Indian River Counties, Florida. 

 

Unless noted otherwise, all species listed were collected, observed or photographed by Phil Poland and Marlo Krisberg.  All by Phil and Marlo were also confirmed by Harry Lee  (Lee, Harry G.  2009.  Marine Shells of Northeast Florida.  Jacksonville Shell Club, Jacksonville, Florida).

 

Several species were only found "dead."

 

Names were those current when specimens observed.  List is not updated as names change.
