Answer:

‘Andaman’ authorities do not allow tourists to collect ‘shells from beaches’ in order to protect their biodiversity and ecosystem.  

Explanation:  

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. In order to protect all these ‘species’ in its own microbiome the government has laid various acts to prohibit people from carrying things out of Andaman.
