H-2B visa workers pick crabs in Dorchester County, Maryland
Workers operating under the H-2B visa program pick crabs at Russell Hall Seafood in Fishing Creek, Md., on June 15, 2020. Russell Hall is one of only two out of the five picking houses on Hoopers Island that were awarded visas for workers this year. Mark Phillips, son of Russell Hall owner Harry Phillips, says “it doesn’t just hurt his business, but the whole community,” as watermen have fewer places to offload their catch. “We’ve had job fairs everywhere, Baltimore to Washington, [but] people just aren’t going to do it,” Phillips said. “If I had to run this business and rely on Americans, I’d sell it today.” (Photo by Carlin Stiehl/Chesapeake Bay Program)
