Hi, everyone!

Winter collecting here on Jeju Island can be quite interesting. Although rubber boots are a necessity, the weather is usually fairly mild and low tides can yield a good variety of species.  In February, 2001, two colleagues and I visited a beach on the eastern side of the island, as part of a biodiversity survey, and obtained 84 species in 1 1/2 hours.  Not bad for winter collecting.

All the best from Korea!

 I can vouch for that,
 though  Les exaggerates:  for 5 days in January
 2014 it was warmer (though winter coat was
 still needed) and  the
 beach was literally
 covered with shells, as if the proverbial shell
 fairies (or dumptrucks?)  had done their work
 overnight.
