  • Summary

  • Come with me ... and you'll be ... in the world of SNAILS! Welcome to the Tybee Island Marine Science Center Podcast! We record our episodes on-location at the center, located at 37 Meddin Drive, Tybee Island, Georgia. In this enlightening episode of the Tybee Island Marine Science Center podcast, host Dee Daniels chats with educator Hannah Longaberger about the fascinating world of snails. Hannah, who started at the center two years ago, shares her experiences in education outreach and the joy of seeing kids engage with marine life. --- They delve into the diverse types of snails; from the tiny eggs they hatch from to their protective shells and unique feeding habits. Particularly intriguing is the moon snail, a top predator with a serrated tongue that drills into other shells. The conversation also covers the critical issue of ocean acidification and its impact on marine ecosystems. Hannah explains how this phenomenon wears down the shells of snails and other marine creatures, highlighting the importance of awareness and local actions to mitigate environmental damage.
