About this organization
Mission
The organization aims to advance the study, preservation, scientific, and medical application of seashells and to provide an educational opportunity for discussion and direct observation in the field of malacology.
About
The foundation wants to promote the study and fascination for molluscs, and one starting point is, of course, in schools. We have launched programs for 5th and 6th graders in the United States and Europe to trigger fascination and the awareness for nature, with 'shells in hands'. Seashells are natural history objects that can be used as hand-outs in schools without risking allergic reactions or other problems encountered with other items taken from nature.
