A portable habitat and harvesting apparatus for marine life such as stone crab, crayfish, lobster and the like deployable on the water bottom and comprising a length of flexible cord connectable at each end to a separate end weight. A plurality of hollow containers are also included, each having an opening and connectable to and along the length of the cord. The invention is deployable on the water bottom in large quantities from a small boat, facilitated by the simplicity and compactness of its components which are easily assemblable during deployment. The invention may also include one or more midweights each positioned between adjacent containers along the cord to assist in maintaining the containers against the water bottom and in an orientation wherein the container interior is generally horizontally disposed in relation to its opening.
