A survey of mostly out-of-state museum-goers<\/a> revealed an overwhelming majority of visitors \u2013 some 90 percent \u2013 did not know that seashells are built by a living animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost people thought they were some kind of rock or stone,\u201d Barnett said. \u201cI was so disturbed by that fact I couldn’t even sleep that night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

An award-winning author and University of Florida journalism professor who covers water and climate, Barnett was looking to write a book about oceans at the time, but she needed an entry point. Eventually, she fell asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy the time I woke up the next morning, I knew I was going to write about seashells,\u201d Barnett said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shared passion among disciplines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Barnett was speaking at Stetson Law as part of the Institute for Biodiversity Law & Policy Foreman Biodiversity Lecture Series. Introducing her, Law Professor and Institute Director Royal Gardner<\/strong> said it is important to hear from environmental advocates from other sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe point of the lecture series is to not just bring in environmental attorneys\u2026 but also people from other disciplines, because if we’re going to make any progress on environmental issues, it’s through a multidisciplinary approach,\u201d Gardner said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout her lecture, Barnett encouraged her audience to use storytelling in their work advocating for the environment, given how persuasive it can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universally beloved, but misunderstood<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"A
USF Professor Cynthia Barnett’s latest book explores seashells and their intertwinement with human history.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In her acclaimed book, The Sound of the Sea: Seashells and the Fate of the Oceans<\/em><\/a>, each chapter is built around a mollusk species whose shell had significance to humanity. Throughout history, humans have used seashells in tools, dye, jewelry, and even as currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their universal appeal has captivated families of beachcombers, great painters, and countless others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s something fundamental about seashells that pleases the brain,\u201d Barnett said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their presence throughout the fossil record has led to landmark scientific discoveries about the age of the earth, the complexity of neanderthal brains, and ancient trade routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her book covers everything from the presence of lightning whelk shells from Florida\u2019s Gulf Coast in the Cahokia Mounds near St. Louis to the \u201cshell madness\u201d sparked by the gorgeous tropical shells Dutch sailors brought back from trade expeditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From shell shop to major conglomerate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Barnett told the story of a shop owner named Marcus Samuel, who sold shells in London\u2019s East End, in particular, popular shell-encrusted boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"A
The Shell, also known as Rembrandt’s Shell or Conus Marmoreus, an etching the artist created during what USF Professor Cynthia Barnett called “shell mania” that gripped Europe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

His company partnered with another that started trading kerosene and, eventually, oil. They built the first tanker that could safely transport oil through the Suez Canal. The vessel was named after the murex (the mollusk from which the Phoenicians extracted purple dyes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, the company changed its name to Shell Oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barnett noted the irony that climate change associated with the burning of fossil fuels is causing the Mediterranean Sea to warm faster than others part of the ocean \u2013 so much so that a scientist Barnett knows in the region told her that murex are struggling to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mollusks in peril<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shellfish can \u201cwhip somersaults\u201d and \u201clook at you with curious eyes,\u201d but they are also \u201cextraordinary architects,\u201d Barnett said, that build their shells using minerals from the marine environment, namely calcium carbonate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cThey layer minerals to build their shells, and their reliance on those minerals is making them sentinels for what’s happening to the ocean,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"An
USF Professor Cynthia Burnett said shells in the fossil record can tell us a lot about the earth’s history.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Since oceans absorb nearly a third of the extra carbon dioxide humans have sent into the atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial revolution, they are now 30 percent more acidic. This has become a problem for mollusks that use calcium to form their shells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShelled animals are really showing us what’s happening to the ocean in just the same way that they once showed us evolution and geologic change,\u201d she said. Scientists have also noticed mollusks having trouble locomoting, pockmarks on their shells, and mass die-offs during major heat events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ending on a high note<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Concluding her lecture, Barnett said that while it is important to inform audiences of environmental perils, too much gloom-and-doom can cause audiences to shut down. She ended her talk by highlighting a thriving population of bay scallops in Florida\u2019s Big Bend, a protected stretch of coastline with sparse development.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Students
USF Professor Cynthia Barnett led an engaging discussion about seashells and their importance for humanity during the April 4, 2025 Biodiversity Lecture.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Florida\u2019s bay scallop populations have been lost in almost every other bay in Florida, she said, including Tampa, Pensacola, and Biscayne bays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey are alive and well in the Big Bend, where the seagrass meadows are healthy,\u201d she said. \u201cI will also say that the manatees are not dying in that part of Florida as they are in so much of the rest of Florida. I think there are some really important comparisons to be made about the Big Bend and why it’s relatively healthy.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
