On this episode of Shell Talk with Sandy Dann, we’re joined by Broome’s own “Shell Lady,” Taryn Ryan. Taryn shares her passion for the fascinating world of shells — from the differences between Town Beach and Cable Beach, to behind-the-scenes access at the WA Museum’s shell collection. She explains why shells are more than just treasures to collect, highlighting their vital role in coastal ecosystems and why it’s important to leave them on the beach.
Taryn also previews upcoming community events, including shell talks, library sessions, and family activities designed to spark curiosity about Broome’s shoreline wonders.
Tune in for a conversation that blends science, culture, and deep respect for Country, reminding us that every shell tells a story.
