Apparently it will become increasingly difficult for marine life to "manufacture" shells as global warming acidifies the oceans and they become over-run with jellyfish...

medley of shellfish with stuffing

just to change it around a bit and keep the musical reference.

It would be better if you could find an alternative to stuffing, or stuffed, which I've always thought sounds strange when used with mussels, clams etc.
For example, I've often seen moules farcies translated as simply" mussels with garlic breadcrumbs" and I think it sounds better.
