Notes: Crabs (mainly Velvet Swimming Crab) and a few Lobsters being collected by an immigrant gentleman at low spring tide. His technique was to feel around the base of the rocks and pull out the crabs. When he found a Lobster, he pulled off both claws before extracting the animal. He kindly let me photograph his catch.
