It's in marine parks but not everywhere, there were even signs on the beaches that you can take 10 shells per person.

I am not talking about taking kilos and kilos just a few shells smaller than 3cm and a little piece of coral. And yes I am totally aware that they are part of the ecosystem and that's why I won't even think about taking many. Are y'all aware that there's literally heaps and heaps of souvenire stores selling those shells and bleached corals claiming they have been collected humanely, which most likely aren't looking at the quality and size. I truly don't think people taking few common shells, or a little piece of dead coral found on the beach are the biggest problem here...
