Newfoundland Sea Urchin Fishery Shut Down By Harvester Boycott

ST. JOHN'S, NL – Sea urchin harvesters from around the province have decided to boycott the sea urchin fishery, shutting it down.

“I’m ready to walk out. I don’t care anymore,” said Jerry Hodder, who owns the business with his wife, Alisha Hodder.
