The Game Of Exploration And Discovery By Wei Peng
Preparing the tools
A pair of comfortable water shoes or gym shoes. Don’t wear slippers or even walk on the beach with bare feet, for it’s easy to be stabbed b sea urchin hiding in the sand.
A handy little shovel or rake, to find out the bivalve mollusks buried in the sediment.
A pair of small tweezers, to clip out the little conch hiding in the swallet.
A flashlight with strong light, for most sea shells hide in daytime and come out at night.
Moreover, prepare the camera to take pictures of the shells at any moment.
See about the tide
As everyone knows, it’s easiest to find shells at low tide, so we should confirm the probable time of the neap tide before departing. You can watch the local tide prediction on TV or search online. Generally speaking, the spring tide appears on each first or 15th of the lunar month. And on each 7th, 8th, or 22nd,23rd of the lunar month, the tide is minimum.
Check the weather
In our country, from every April to May, and from every September to October, it’s the golden time to search for shells on the beaches, for during these times, the sun’s direct point is between the equator and the tropic of cancer, the climate of most coastal areas becomes warm and comfortable. The vitality of seashells is most vigorous and they are easiest to be found out.
