Title – Harvesting Sea Cucumbers
Date – January 2003
Location - Cook Islands
Collecting Sea Cucumbers at sunset is a nightly activity here on Atutaki, the harvest either consumed locally or shipped on to the far east where it is considered a delicacy. The locals are all too aware of the limited resource available and are careful not to over harvest any one area, ensuring there will be an endless ‘average harvest’ and not just a one year bonanza.
When you travel for any period of time there is usually a budget to stick to and this has to account for all your needs while you are stranded so far away from home. Some people choose to work for part of the duration of their trip and some just rack up credit.
During our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshops we examine not only ways of protecting your valuables and documents we also look at areas where you can make savings, as well as those where these savings carry too much risk. Beyond The Blue’s instructors have stayed in some of the worlds best hotels and in some of the poorest slums, we know where each option is the appropriate choice.
