Enjoy a walk on South Beach with MI Shell Club member, Marge Tunnell. Marge will help us discover living creatures as we walk the beach in the early morning hours. Last year we found many olives and their trails, and lightning whelks, and horse conchs with hermit crabs inside of them! This is a great time to learn about shells and at the creatures that inhabit them.

The January 16 seminar will be presented by the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum and Jose H. Leal, PhD, Science Director & Curator. The topic will be “Southwest Florida Amazing Mollusks”. We hope to see you there at this exciting seminar.
