@joshua terry A land acknowledgement is a way to state awareness that one is working and living on land that has been colonized.

I would like to point out that the first modern aquatic (freshwater in this case) snail you showed will never leave these marks. Its a Clea Helena also known as an Assassin Snail. Its a predatory snail that preys on other snails. That pipe on the front? Its the proboscis of the snail and just like its distant relatives the cone snails it can fire a poisoned harpoon out of it. Just i that case completely harmless to humans, but deadly to other snails.
