Working Conditions
In a typical work setting, commercial fishers and hunters:
- Have a low level of job-required social interaction. However, they have little privacy while confined aboard ship.
- Work outside most of the time. They occasionally work inside the deckhouse or other sheltered areas of the boat.
- Must be sure that all details of the job are performed and everything is done. Duties left undone can result in the loss of expensive gear or danger to crew members.
- May be at sea overnight or for several months at a time.
