  1. No. Dead (empty) shells can be collected.  EXCEPT if there is a posted provision to take nothing from the area---these are pretty rare.


  2. It really depends on local policy.  For instance, I live in California and there are several beaches nearby.  For some beaches it is OK, but on Laguna Beach you will see signs say that you can't take anything, live of dead, even a stone, from the beach.
