What do you mean by digging oysters?

To dig oysters is to go to the coastline and use shovels, shovels and buckets D to dig oysters.

There are no special tools for digging oysters. Shovels, pickaxes and sharp knives are all acceptable. What fishermen often use is a slightly thicker steel bar or wire, one end of which is hammered flat into a knife shape, and then a wooden handle is installed to make a homemade oyster knife.

it's also a laborious job to dig oysters. Bend down and stand beside a large or small reef, hold an oyster knife, aim at the clustered oysters on the reef, and gouge them down from the roots close to the surface of the reef, and the oysters will fall to the beach one after another.

At low tide, the rocks on the seashore are full of oysters and snails. It is convenient to pack oysters in barrels and snails in bags.

Pollution caused by oyster digging:

Due to the serious water pollution along the coast of Edogawa, Kawasaki City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, the local government began to put oysters in Edogawa and Tokyo Bay in 195 to improve the water pollution, so that oysters could gradually purify the seawater, and the effect has been excellent so far. But what I didn't expect was that these oysters were taken by China people and came to Japan to steal them.

local residents said that since about three years ago, many people have been digging oysters here, most of them from China. In July this year, hundreds of China people came to dig in groups.

the local residents said helplessly: even though we advised them that the oysters here are not edible, it still didn't help. The number of people has not decreased at all.

What local residents can't bear most is that China people who come to dig oysters like to open their shells on the spot, take the oyster meat away and throw them away. This led to the production of 1 tons of oyster shell waste along the Edogawa.
