Live Mollusk Count 2025
The Sanibel-Captiva Shell Club is partnering with the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum for a Live Mollusk Count on January 12, and we hope you can join us! Participants will be counting and identifying live mollusks on the beaches of Sanibel in groups of two or more. The event will begin at around sunrise and last for two hours. Afterwards, we’ll meet at the Shell Museum for a coffee and pastries social function.
