In New England the soft-shell clam is preyed heavily upon by northern moon snails and invasive green crabs. They are also a favorite of gulls, which pull the clam from the sand ...
A pipe clamp is a type of clamp often employed in piping, woodworking, and cabinet shops. Pipe clamps for woodwork or cabinet shops are usually composed of commercially manufactured clamp heads or "jaws" and a length of common threaded pipe.

The Marman clamp was first produced by Herbert Marx, better known by his stage name Zeppo Marx; [2] [7] it was manufactured by his company, Marman Products from the 1930s. [8] At the time it was designed to secure cargo during transport. The U.S. Military used Marman clamps to transport the atomic bombs used at the end of the Second World War. [9]
The taxonomic term Bivalvia was first used by Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his Systema Naturae in 1758 to refer to animals having shells composed of two valves. [3] More recently, the class was known as Pelecypoda, meaning "axe-foot" (based on the shape of the foot of the animal when extended).
Harvesters locate the clam by looking for a "show," which can present as either a hole or depression in the sand. [8] Some clams expose their siphons as the surf is receding making them far easier to spot; this behavior is called "necking". [9] Razor clams are commonly battered and fried in butter. They can also be used to make clam chowder.
