How it would work

Bring beach-cleanup trash to the table and earn Shells; trade Shells for secondhand wetsuits, boards and books at the swap.

Design concept for a community-credit system. Not legal tender, not for sale, no cash value, no redemption and no investment rights. In this design, credit is earned by contributing and spent on the shared thing.
