Just returned from a weeks camping in Cornwall and this collection of Mussels were found at Carbis Bay a real beauty spot near St Ives.
She was rock turning at 6 am searching for crab, rock eels pretty much anything edible. If the mood strikes her barnacles and mussels can be part of breakfast menu. She has two tiny cubs which were tucked away in a safe place they joined her a bit later. Lots of fur-baby photos to post soon. I have been away for the better part of two months searching for wildlife on the northern tip of Vancouver Island. Lucky for me the island is one health region as British Columbia is still under COVID travel restrictions till mid June.
Pun intended.😊 Rockaway Beach tide pool, Oregon Coast. HSoS!

Bouchot culture: Intertidal growth technique, or bouchot technique: pilings, known in French as bouchots, are planted at sea; ropes, on which the mussels grow, are tied in a spiral on the pilings; some mesh netting prevents the mussels from falling away. This method needs an extended tidal zone.
Used ND1000 + ND8
Mussels crammed in trying to find anchorage on a rock at Pescadero, State Beach, between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz, California.
