:43:00
gleaners need a copy
of the Tide Tables.

:43:05
We come every year
for the lowest tide.

:43:08
They're going to follow
the receding sea

:43:12
and anything they find they pick up.
:43:26
People collect the oysters
that have come loose.

:43:31
In theory, they keep out
of the poles around the beds.

:43:35
They must keep out.
:43:37
They are too close.
:43:39
Here the oyster farmers
let them carry on, but...

:43:43
it degenerates sometimes.
:43:45
We don't trespass!
:43:47
The limit must be here, but...
:43:50
we encroach a little sometimes.
:43:53
We're not stupid.
We see others and do the same.

:43:56
If they tell us anything, we scram.
:43:59
It's tolerated
but not really allowed.

:44:02
It's not downright illegal.
:44:05
There still exists a right to glean,
:44:07
provided people glean
1 5 yards from the beds.

:44:11
- 25 yards away.
- Is it 25 yards now?

:44:15
What are people allowed to do?
:44:17
To collect up to 7 pounds each,
nothing more.

:44:20
- 1 0 yards away minimum.
- Right.

:44:23
1 1 pounds per person.
:44:25
7 pounds of clams
and 1 1 pounds of oysters,

:44:29
something like that.
:44:31
1 1 pounds per person, I think.
:44:34
Three dozen per person
:44:36
but surely they take more than that.
:44:39
They pick up small inedible oysters
:44:41
that were churned
by the waves and are full of sand.

:44:45
People from the mainland eat them,
:44:48
and then say they get sick.
