Abstract
Mainland clamdiggers travel offshore for the prized island clams, but find themselves in a culture clash with islanders and professional lobstermen alike. Eventually they usually wind up in court for clamming in closed flats or for ingenius, if illegal, ruses to protect their best spots, as do wormers, whose range is unregulated. Red tide and government regulation have done little to undermine long-held traditions. Details.
