Changhua, Taiwan
Oyster farming on the coastal mudflats of western Taiwan. Over 50% of Taiwan's coastline has become armored with dykes and concrete wave barriers, altering the productivity of the natural marine habitat. Oyster farming here has a long history going back hundreds of years. Access is at low tide with three-wheeled motor carts and cattle-powered wagons.
