A shell can be many things: a mollusk’s protection against a predator, a piece of jewelry, a makeshift spoon—it can even be a calcium supplement or an alternative to limestone mining to help fight climate change. But what happens when you take a closer look? With Illumination: Seeing Beyond the Shell, The Bishop continues the celebration of its 75th Anniversary Year of Light with the photography of Scott Odell who is not only a local photographer, but also a member of the Museum’s Staff. This exhibition of macro photography literally takes a closer look at the shells in The Bishop’s permanent collection, showing what happens when you take an object and view it in a completely different way. These images are the fortuitous result of the Museum’s temporary closure during the Covid-19 pandemic. Odell originally began his work with the idea of having an online exhibition where visitors to The Bishop’s website could continue to view items from the permanent collection The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature, 201 10th St. West, Bradenton. www.BishopScience.org. t UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County Lectures July 11—Wild Sarasota: Snakes of Florida (webinar).

Sea Turtle Nesting Season is Here Sea turtle nesting season takes place through Oct. 31 on Southwest Florida beaches. Mote Marine coordinates with county, state and federal efforts to conserve sea turtles — particularly loggerheads, since Sarasota County hosts the highest density of loggerhead nests in the Gulf of Mexico. Data show that nesting by loggerhead turtles declined and then rebounded in recent years, while green turtle nesting — although very low in numbers — has increased. On nesting beaches, light from waterfront properties can disorient nesting female turtles and their young, which emerge at night and use dim natural light to find the sea. Also, beach furniture, trash and other obstacles can impede sea turtles and their young. While Mote documents turtle nests, the best thing you can do to help is to refrain from using artificial light while on the beach. t Here are some “do and don’t” tips to keep beaches turtle-friendly: • DO stay away from sea turtle nests marked with yellow stakes and tape, and seabird nesting zones that are bounded by ropes. • DO remain quiet and observe from a distance if you encounter a nesting sea turtle or hatchlings. • DO shield or turn off outdoor lights that are visible on the beach from May through October. • DO close drapes after dark and stack beach furniture at the dune line or, ideally, remove it from the beach • DO fill in holes that may entrap hatchlings on their way to the water. • DON’T approach nesting turtles or hatchlings, make noise, or shine lights at turtles. • DON’T use flashlights, head lamps or fishing lamps on the beach. • DON’T encourage a turtle to move while nesting or pick up hatchlings that have emerged and are heading for the water. • DON’T use fireworks on the beach. • DON’T walk dogs on any Sarasota County beach other than Brohard Paw Park in Venice. There, dogs must be leashed or under voice control, according to county ordinances. Report stranded sea turtles and marine mammals. Mote Marine Laboratory’s Stranding Investigations Program responds 24 hours a day seven days a week to reports of sick, injured and dead marine mammals and sea turtles for animals in Sarasota and Manatee County waters. Live animals are brought back to Mote’s Dolphin and Whale Hospital or Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Hospital for treatment and the deceased animals undergo a detailed post-mortem examination so that we may learn more about the natural history of these animals and evaluate long-term trends in mortality. Within Sarasota or Manatee County waters, if you see a stranded or dead dolphin, whale or sea turtle, call Mote’s Stranding Investigations Program, a 24-hour response service, at 888-345-2335. If you see a stranded or dead manatee anywhere in state waters or a stranded or dead dolphin, whale or sea turtle outside of Sarasota or Manatee counties, call the FWC Wildlife Alert hotline at 1-(888) 404-3922.
