Our previous website was built and maintained by Joyce Matthys over the years. It has been a wealth of information. It is well written, informative, helpful, and contains all of our archived information and photos. That part won’t change. It will remain an archive of previous Shell Shows, activities, history, etc. Google Sites has limited capabilities compared to more modern platforms, so Joyce decided it was a good time to pass the baton. Much thanks to Joyce for all the hard work figuring out how to be a webmaster and keeping the site up-to-date! The old website is: https://sites.google.com/site/thesanibelcaptivashellclub/home The new website (https://sanibelshellclub.com) is hosted by Blue Host and written using Word Press.

To commemorate his 100th birthday, Anne and David Joffe are sponsoring a special award in Tucker’s name at the 2019 Sanibel Shell Show. The R. Tucker Abbot Award will be given to the scientific exhibit that “best exemplifies worldwide educational interest in shells.” We thank Anne and David for sponsoring this award. The 2019 Shell Show Exhibitor’s Packet is now available on our club’s website.

Right under the noses of thousands of scuba divers, a potential new threat appeared on the Vandenberg wreck in the Florida Keys. It is not surprising that it went unnoticed, since it is the width of a pencil eraser, barely the length of your finger, and perfectly camouflaged. Thankfully, one expert spotted it and immediately knew it didn’t belong. It turns out it was a new : the Vandy worm-snail. Worm-snails can be a concern because they can damage (L-R) Sanibel Shell Club members Phyllis Sharp, Donald coral and transmit parasites that can infect sea turtles. Dan, Gussie Ross, Charlie Barr, Clair Beckman, Diane Researchers want to know where this worm-snail came Thomas, Anne Joffe and Joyce Matthys at COA from, how it got there, and whether this is the start of the next harmful invasion.

Bacteria colonize it, and the snail, which grazes for food when it was smaller, no longer needs to eat. Instead it just sits there getting bigger, surviving on energy the bacteria produce inside the snail’s cells. To make a human comparison, imagine growing from an average size adult to one 30 to 60 feet tall, with a giant sac of bacteria living inside you. Not all animals eat. Some shallow water corals, for example, have algae living inside their tissues that take in sunlight and convert it to energy that provides the corals with nutrients. In the deep sea, there is no sun, but vents provide chemicals that bacteria break down. This is the basis of the deep sea food chain.
