Description A sudden abundance of bivalves in large
numbers were observed during
March-June’09 along Dadar beach in
Mumbai in the intertidal zone. About
200-400 men, women, and children from
the nearby areas began excavating and
hand-picking the bivalves daily from the
sand. There is a high demand for
these bivalves and they fetched a good
price in the local market.
