| Description : |
Three children collecting cockles from a beach. The children may be collecting these to use as bait for fishing or to supplement the family's diet. Cockle gathering was once a popular summer beach activity in localities around the world. At the commercial level, many countries are now considering, or have already introduced, quotas to maintain the sustainability of the cockle stocks. |
