A conch is a type of mollusc, a sea snail, and the shell of a conch is used to make a loud "booming" sound in the novel Lord of the Flies. This sound is used to call the boys to meetings. The conch is also used to symbolise democracy in the novel, as whoever holds it has the right to uninterupted speech. The phrase "Conch Republic" is not used in the novel.
