2025 THE BITAN CRAB RUSH

Ecological Verification through The Lens

In September 2025, the Bitan Weir witnessed a historic ecological event: the "Three Waves" of the Japanese Mitten Crab migration.

While news outlets broadcasted the sheer scale of thousands of crabs scaling the weir, my lens focused on the individual struggle within the mass migration. This macro portrait (above) captures the determination of a single life, while the footage (below) documents the collective power of nature utilizing the new eco-fishway.

This project serves as visual proof: Nature has an algorithm, and when we engineer with respect, life returns.

Exclusive Footage

The Full Archive: From Breaking News to 4K Documentation.

While the mobile footage I provided to news outlets captured the urgency of the event, this director's cut reveals the true texture of the "Three Waves" phenomenon. This is the exclusive high-fidelity archive shot on the Canon R5 mark2 System. It goes beyond the news cycle to document the overwhelming details of nature's collective algorithm—a visual legacy for conservation.
