3-9-12 Barnacles declining - Nanwalek, Alaska, USA
Observation: Several chiton gatherers have reported above normal amounts of barnacles, young and old, that have fallen from the coastal rocks.They are concerned about the amount of change in the shellfish, and the occurrence that took place during the low tide. We have not seen this before and subsistence gatherers are worried about the safety of chitons and shellfish to eat. Please advise. Tim Greene
