  2. Watermen’s Industry Tonging is a technique used by watermen to harvest oysters from the bottom of local rivers and bays. The large, heavy tongs are difficult to maneuver and are used to scoop up oysters and dump them into the workboat. Dredging is also used, wherein a large mechanically driven instrument is used to collect larger numbers of oysters more quickly. Unfortunately, dredging can damage oyster beds and adversely effect future harvest populations. Thus, Cambridge’s watermen must choose between efficiency and conservation.
