The top story for the Bureau of Land Management in 2023? The draft Public Lands Rule, a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make land and water conservation, tribal stewardship, and wildlife a priority! “In March, BLM proposed a draft rule aimed at helping safeguard the health of our public lands for current and future generations. The Public Lands Rule would put conservation on equal footing with other uses of our public lands. It would protect our clean water and wildlife habitat, restore lands and waters, and inform wise management decisions based on the best available science, data, and indigenous knowledge.” Read more about this landmark proposed rule as well as the other top BLM stories from 2023: https://lnkd.in/e5-M3Atq #BLMWild #ActNowForPublicLands

In Texas, it is generally legal to collect seashells from public beaches for personal use. However, there are restrictions when it comes to collecting specific species or collecting shells in protected areas. For example, it is illegal to take live shells, such as those containing living organisms like hermit crabs, from the beach. Additionally, certain beaches or wildlife preserves may have specific rules or regulations regarding shell collecting, and it is essential to be aware of local guidelines.

A comprehensive legal framework is pertinent in ensuring that our wildlife resources are protected for the benefit of present and future generations.
