Clam Garden Knowledge Keeper

"We created this clam garden by building rock walls at low tide along the edge of the bay. This made a nice level beach, providing a perfect habitat for clams and crabs. When the tide goes out, our dinner table is set!

Task: Help me repair the wall by taking rocks from this pile to replace the ones that have fallen over. Look for the 3 gaps in the wall. Once you have replaced the 3 missing rocks and the tide has gone out, look for waterspouts and use a digging stick to harvest the clams. Take the clams back to the big house and store them in the bentwood box by the Ocean Resources Elder."
