POSITION DESCRIPTION
The clam digger will harvest clams either by wet or dry digging. Wet digging is done by standing in knee to thigh deep water while using a dredging fork (a long handled pitchfork like tool) to shift through substrate to harvest clams. Dry digging is performed by kneeling on the beach and using a hand held rake to turn over the substrate to harvest market size clams. The clams harvested are placed into a four gallon bucket. When the bucket is full the digger empties the clams into a net sack. The digger will open car covers or clam nets as needed. At the conclusion of the days digging each digger is responsible to load his/her sacks into the boat and, once transported to the beach, load onto the truck as well.
As a member of the oyster crew, which is an intertidal worker that is responsible for taking part in the harvest which is done primarily by forking or handpicking oysters into a container such as an oyster tub or bushel basket. Forking involves using a pitchfork like device that you push along the surface of the beach to collect oysters. Crewmembers must be comfortable lifting heavy amounts on, sometimes, uneven ground. Oyster tubs are to be fully filled for pick up by another crew to be counted for pay. A crewmember is responsible for the equipment assigned to them, and be able to work day or night tides in all types of weather conditions. This means the crewmembers must wear appropriate protective clothing. Oyster crews are to report to their crew boss for hours, places, and transportation. Oyster crews are often assigned to other tasks such as digging clams and must be open and available to work this position as well.
Geoduck Bay Workers unload the seed from the boat and place it into trays before distributing a proper amount into a small bucket filled with water for themselves and others. The stomping crew will work together to move the bags of clean tubes off a scow and up the beach to where they will be stomped. The crew boss will show the stompers where to lay down the lines to begin setting up the tubes. The stomper also helps reload empty bags, as well as bags of broken tubes back onto the scow. The pullers will remove the protective netting that covers the tubes. This net may be placed back on top of the geoduck site after pulling depending on the site.
