Cowries are found in tropical seas in large parts of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, such as Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, Australia and Madagascar, but also in other seas, such as the Red Sea, the Caribbean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Several cowrie species played an important role in trade and culture in the past. Even today they are loved as a collector's item and piece of jewelry.
