360°GEO - Report accompanies goose barnacle fishermen on a trip to the deadly cliffs. But even there, the goose barnacle population is declining rapidly.

Goose barnacles are Spain's favourite seafood. At exclusive restaurants, gourmets pay up to 250 euros for the specialty. But no one can reimburse Galicia's fishermen for the danger they expose themselves to by gathering them.

Their working district is the "Costa del Morte" - the "Coast of Death", where the oil tanker "Prestige" split apart in 2002. Here, the waves of the Atlantic are often lashed against the rocks by northwest gale force 8 winds.
