Each bulk pile (tote) of sea urchins must be tagged by the harvester once landed on shore. Each tag must include the date of harvest and the harvester license number. The tag must accompany each tote of sea urchins at all times until arrival at the purchasing dealer's licensed facility.
Exception: A harvester who sells a bulk pile (tote) of sea urchins to a licensed dealer at the landing location is not required to tag the tote provided the licensed dealer purchasing the sea urchins tags each tote with the date of harvest and the harvester license number.
