Be careful, when buying shells and corals in the Seychelles. In most cases it is not forbidden to take them out of the Seychelles, BUT taking them into your homecountry might be a severe problem when they catch you with corals or rare sea-shells.
Taking home a"Coco-de-mer" is another thing ! In order to take them out of the country you need a "certificate" like the one that sticks on the coc-d-mer in my photos and hopefully this will also accepted by your local customs-control, because this so-called certificate looks quite cheap, almost like "selfmade". In any case the weight of 20 kg per coco-de-mer is the next problem when you fly home !
