There is a small, barren island called Young you, where the people make a living off fish farms and collecting shellfish.

On underneath these waters lies a hidden death.

O is known by locals as the guardian of Young Island.

In the summer, he comes to harvest shellfish.

Today he is looking for these goose neck barnacles.

They're considered a delicacy around the world and can fetch up to $80 a pound.

They attach themselves to the steep, rocky ledges of the intertidal zone, which means harvesting must be done when the tide is low.

It's a tricky business and the ocean can be unpredictable.

Delicacies can be readily picked from the rocks.

Some require getting more than just your toes.

Wet Song is 53 this year and has been diving since he was a child.

Today is going down 25 ft to collect mussels.

While most muscles on the market are farmed here, they're harvested wild.

Air washed with fresh water there, then cooked in a pot with just a little bit of water so that the flavor is more concentrated.

Oh, wait, Mariota And here Wait, How you answer that way?

Oh, tell me this year, quiet to the harsh to 200 10.

While island life may seem idyllic for these fishermen, their livelihoods depend entirely on the season's weather conditions.

A bad storm can devastate their entire business.

I thought I mean, in here by the one chances many other e So now it's It's easy.
