Ford sent his quandary and the surreal images of the Drakes Beach shore to Bay Nature magazine, a local science publication. They are not franks but fat innkeeper worms, almost as old as the wet sand in which they burrow. "We're seeing the risk of building your home out of sand," Parr wrote in Bay Nature. But because they live primarily underground, the innkeeper worms are difficult to quantify, he said.
