As we walked along, = the reason they were there became obvious as several thousand bar clams had= washed up on the beach. Also on the beach were 3-4 dozen lobsters, a few m= ussels and scallops.

I had no idea so many clams ha= d been living in the waters off the island. Many age classes were in the mi= x. The clams were all along the north and east beaches.=20 <br/>>=20 <br/>> The waves during the storm must have completely covered a goo= d section of the bar <br/>> connecting the mainland section of the park to Munroes I. The= marram grass was matted down. On the north side there was quite a bit of e= rosion of the bank and many trees must have washed away. Lots of power to t= his storm. Big Island Causeway further east fared worse with a large sectio= n of the causeway breached. There was a steady stream of trucks trying to r= estore the causeway road the last couple days.=20 <br/>>=20 <br/>> Cheers <br/>> Ken=20 <br/>>=20 <br/>>=20 <br/>> Sent from my iPad <br/>> Ken McKenna <br/>> Stellarton=20 <br/>> NS=20 </div> =20 </body></html>
