YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Why have wooden boxes appeared in the mudflats of four towns in Casco Bay? Reporter Sophie Burchell spoke with marine ecologists about why they put them there, how they work and what the boxes can tell us about Maine's softshell clam populations (hint: these clams aren't so happy).
