The reporter learned that,
This situation has occurred in recent years in many households,
Every time there is a typhoon, there is a large amount of oysters on the beach.
Where do so many oysters come from?
Did it really come from a typhoon?
The reporter conducted multiple interviews in an attempt to find the answer.
"The main reason is that there are people raising oysters in the waters ahead, especially around Mangyu Island. However, it is generally not recommended to pick them up for consumption. Some of these oysters have a lot of sand, while others are not fresh." Ye Xuan, Secretary of the Party Branch and Director of the Village Committee of Hongquan Village, Shimen Town, Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone, introduced that in recent years, many oyster farms have moved to the sea after the river in the jurisdiction banned oyster cultivation.
Lv Baotao, a aquaculture worker at a marine ranch in the Haimen area, told reporters that oysters are generally kept nearby. Oysters grow on rocks and do not easily fall off. However, when a typhoon strikes, they are affected by the southwest wind and waves, causing oyster rice to fall into the sea, and fishermen can only catch a portion of it.
And there is also mud and sand in the sea. Oysters that fall into the mud basically die, while those that fall into the sand "survive" and will be washed onto the beach along with the waves.
Wei Wenqiang, administrative affairs officer of the Marine Department of the Agriculture, Rural Affairs, and Marine Fisheries Bureau of the Shenzhen Shantou Special Cooperation Zone, stated that oysters at sea are all raised on long ropes. When the wind and waves are strong, the oyster shells will detach from the ropes and be hit ashore by the waves.
At present, there are oyster farms on Mangyu Island and Jiangmu Island in the Shimen Sea area. Jiangmu Island is relatively far away and few oysters are washed over; There are more oysters coming from nearby Mangyu Island.
However, industry insiders have also analyzed another reason: oysters generally grow on intertidal floodplains and shallow sea beds, which are easily moved by waves during typhoons.
Due to the relatively light shells of oysters, waves will sweep them away from the seabed and then throw them onto the coastline. Therefore, once a typhoon makes landfall, a large amount of oysters will be blown along the coastline.
In addition, local villagers also have the custom of chasing the sea, mainly by digging some shellfish. "Sha Bai lives in the sand. During typhoons and high tides, when the sand rolls up, Sha Bai is swept up."
"However, we do not recommend going to the beach on typhoon days as it is windy and rough, so safety should be the top priority," said Luo Liyang, a member of the Minsheng Village Committee in Shimen Town
