Commercial fishing, particularly {{wp|lobster}}ing and trawling. While lobster is the main seafood focus for Wintergen, the harvest of both oysters, seaweed, shrimp are on the rise. The main fishing fleets are based in Santmai since the shipping traffic makes fishing out of Hivernille less favorable. Contaminant and noise pollution has made fishing near Hivernille impossible and trying to navigate around the constant flow of ships more of a hassle than it is worth.
