Eels that live in the sand at beaches are typically species like the sand eel or the surf eel, which inhabit shallow coastal waters. These eels often burrow into the sandy substrate to hide from predators and ambush prey, feeding on small fish and invertebrates. Their elongated bodies and smooth skin allow them to navigate easily through the sand. They play an important role in the marine ecosystem by contributing to nutrient cycling and serving as prey for larger fish and birds.

How could a decrease in the number of herring cause a decrease in the number of sand eels?
The mathematical relationship is direct (not inverse), because sand eels feed on herring, and as the herring decrease, so decreases the sand eels' food supply. Please note that sand eels are not to be confused with the gigantic variety of species called sand worms, as depicted in the 1988 movie Beetle Juice. These creatures feed solely on actors and film crews.
