Explanation:

Andaman' authorities do not allow tourists to collect 'shells from beaches' in order to protect their biodiversity and ecosystem. ... Andaman is an island which consists of a wide variety of forests and is very rich in 'flora and fauna'. In addition it also contains a 'large number' of coral reserves.

Answer 2

Answer:

a) Seashells are important part of the coastal ecosystem and are crucial for survival of various marine creatures.

b) They provide material for building nests of birds and also act as a subtratum for attaching of algae, seagrass, sponges and various microbes.

c) Fishes use shells for hiding from predators, whereas hermit crab use shells as temporary shelter.

d) Removal of seashells from sea shore may also indirectly affect the rate of shoreline erosion.

Hence, in an attempt to protect the ecosystem, authorities in Andaman do not allowed us to collect shells from beaches.
