A clam; the small blue dots along the edge are small eyes, with the bulk of the animal inside the shell
I found a Welk (similar to a conch, essentially a very large snail) while harvesting seagrass!

Ghost crab
Net pollution on an uninhabited barrier island
Cape Charles beach
While fish sampling, we found several varieties of small fish, as well as lots of crabs
