Collection of gastropods for the souvenir and shell trade is of concern in places such as Brazil, where the lack of regulations and size limits threaten overexploitation of populations (Dias et al. 2011). Currently there is a lack of information regarding the population and conservation status of many species within this area. Establishment of marine protected areas has been important in management and conservation of organisms within these areas (Dias et al.2011)
