The Crablands

The Crablands is a place that we as Coasters often take for granted, we treat it as a pathway to get to the fish; we trapse across it, quad bike through it, run the dog over it, drive across it...... and miss an entire universe of ecological wonder and drama along the way.   Science calls it the inter-tidal zone, but the Crablands is a much more apt description because it is a badlands, full of these tiny creatures eeking out their living in an ever-changing environment where there is no guarantee of life from one moment to the next.

The Crablands   

Low-tide landscapes...

Where all the drama happens

There are CRABS!  of course

Big ones, tiny ones, funny looking ones...

There are sign of other creatures  living out on the  Crablands too

Who knows what they all are, but it is fascinating!

The larger predators  add another  layer  of  drama

It is a dangerous place to try to live...
