Lobsterman Discovers 3 NEW Gulf Shell Species! See them HERE!
In this exclusive interview, I sit down with lobster fisherman Captain Randy Rivera, skipper of the Ava Pilar, who made history by discovering 3 brand-new species of sea snails near the Dry Tortugas! Officially named Fasciolaria riverai, Chicoreus Riverai, and Scaphella Mercedesae by malacologists Dr. Edward Petuch and David Berschauer, all these incredible shells were pulled straight from the deep waters of the Tortuga Terrace. Is this the rarest shell discovery in the Gulf of Mexico? Let's dive into the science, the story, and the mystery!
