This man has a neat trick for collecting razor clams on the beach. Razor clams burrow into the sand when the sea levels are low, leaving small holes in a figure-of-eight formation on the surface.

There's no point trying to dig them out as they'll just bury themselves even deeper into the sand. To make them come out, all you need is some salt, which you can then sprinkle just above the place where they are hiding.

By using the salt in this unusual yet creative way, the razor clams will then believe that the sea levels are rising againand rush to the surface!
