Tyler used innovative web-based approaches to tell the stories of clammers and help people learn more about the value of clamming in Maine\u2019s culture and economy. The\u00a0Clam Cam<\/a>\u00a0website he helped to create promotes learning about and celebrating the culture of clamming.<\/p>\n \u201cWe worked with clammers on Maine’s coast to develop an approach for documenting clam digging using body-mounted cameras,\u201d Tyler says of the research. \u201cWe found that clammers use a range of tools to adapt to diverse and changing mudflat conditions and that \u2018digital field rhetoric\u2019 as a method is a way for researchers and their collaborators to navigate complex and challenging\u00a0inequities and social-environmental justice issues. We and others are building on this approach to support ongoing\u00a0collaborations with the Penobscot Nation and the Passamaquoddy Tribe.\u201d<\/p>\n
