Bouchot mussel farming in Tardinghen, Opal Coast

            Photo taken at low tide on Châtelet beach. 
The bouchot mussel is grown in France on wooden poles in the sea. These poles are called bouchot.
Mussel farmers catch larval mussels naturally on ropes made of natural and biodegradable fibre. They are then wound around wooden stakes. This way, the mussels are out of reach of crabs and other predators. Each bouchot stake can hold up to 80 kg of mussels.
