SEA URCHIN FISHING

The full urchin bags are lifted on to the packer. If we are out at sea the packer takes the urchins to the dock.

Sea urchin bags being loaded into the hold of the sea rake. Captain Joe is in command.

Ward carefully lowers the sea urchin bags in to the hold of the Sea Rake.

This is a hyab used for lifting the urchin bags off of the packer or the dive boats. Then puts them on the dock.

Once the bags of sea urchins are on the dock, they are emptied into totes, large plastic boxes.

The dock workers in Port Hardy do an excellent job of unloading the sea urchins.
