Rishiri: Humans and seagulls fishing for sea cucumbers

Sea cucumber fishing is carried out all year round. Of course, it is also done in winter. It's almost March, but snow still continues to fall in Rishiri. In the morning, fishing boats wash off the snow that has accumulated on the boat into the sea before setting off. This time, seagulls were also fishing with the fishing boats. Could it be a sea cucumber that the fishing boat dropped? After this, the seagull flew away with the sea cucumber still in its mouth. I could tell that it was determined to eat it, but I wonder if it was able to eat it safely. I hope it doesn't choke on it. I was given some pickled sea cucumber, and contrary to its appearance, it is delicious. Sea cucumber. In the past, fishermen would go to work away from home in the winter because there was nothing to catch, but nowadays, due to public works on the island and the rising shipping price of sea cucumbers, the number of people going away to work seems to be decreasing.
