Lecture: Aangespoeld - Koen Fraussen

What treasures wash up on our shores? And what stories lie behind the shells and other fascinating finds that we often pass by without a second glance?

In this captivating talk, Koen Fraussen, an internationally recognised mollusc specialist and passionate shell collector, takes you on a surprising journey of discovery along our coastline.

Things that may seem ordinary at first glance often reveal an unexpected story. A piece of cuttlebone, for instance, turns out to be the internal skeleton of a remarkably intelligent cephalopod. And an apparently harmless shell may be linked to a history shaped by the slave trade.

Every find becomes the starting point of a fascinating story where biology, history, culture and gastronomy come together.

A talk that will inspire you to look at the beach, the sea and the small treasures washed ashore from a completely different perspective.
