Listen to the story of Oyster Island:

I found this link while I was listening to the story of Oyster Island:

It’s a person recording her journey once to Oyster Island. Through this person's photos, I can have a better view of what the island really looks like.

Here is a photo in her blog about the shells she found on this island. It’s still hard to match the sound of moon snails or red beard sponges. But I do feel these animals used to be really alive and have their own stories, have their own mood.

I shared this with my friend right away after I listened to the whole story. My friend and I love eating oysters so much. We found an oyster bar in NYC, and their oysters in winter are really huge. Most of them are larger than a human hand. We both went to the Statue of Liberty several times, but we didn’t even notice this small island made full of the shells of oysters. My friend laughed about that. We need to eat more oysters and bring all the shells to this island so that the time it comes out of the water will increase.

A picture from a time me and my friend eating hand-size oysters.

Okay, this is not the main point of my feeling about this. The thing that made me impressed is that they changed the voice of those creatures such as the moon snails’, and turned it into a frequency that humans can understand. That artistic style of manipulating the unknown part of nature into a human’s tone of voice. So that makes humans aware of treating animals like moon snails more friendly.

This audio gave me the inspiration to create this kind of project for the class, which is using an artistic style of way to present the hidden side of nature around us. To let people protect this creature or take care of this species together.
