Remarks
ANSP 399801
remarks Original data states "3 weeks after blizzard of '96. In areas where there were none the two weeks before. All live & healthy (but soon to be bulldozed because of the smell of the clams,) apparently coming in with high tide to feed on the weak or dead clams & becoming stranded at low tide. Clams had been washed up by the millions in early January, deposited mile after mile from at least Ventnor to Avalon. Piles in ridges & waves from 6" to 3' deep in Sea Isle. Up to 4' of sand washed out.
