Derelict Crab Trap Recovery Program Remember, traps may only be legally collected on volunteer days regulated through the Alabama Marine Resources Division. But keep a mental note of where you find those derelict traps for collection on March 11, 2006. We suggest taking pictures of locations where traps have been sited at low water times. In June 2002, the Alabama
Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Marine Resources
Division held a pilot program
for removing derelict crab traps from Alabama coastal waters. The
Mobile Bay NEP along with the Coastal Conservation
Association, the Alabama Seafood Association and many other
groups supported the effort. The success of the pilot program led to
scheduling two programs for 2003 and one in 2004. Due to popular
demand a program is now planned for Saturday, March 11, 2006. The program in the past has been supported by the Gulf of Mexico Foundation and NOAA Coastal Services Center. Past supporters have included: Auburn University Marine Extension and Research Center, Mobile Area Water and Sewer System, Eagle Claw, Academy Sports, Sam's Club, Boaters World, Boise Cascade, DuPont, Coca-Cola, Alabama Gulf Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Dr. Louis Buckalew for sponsoring previous events. *You will need to install the Adobe Acrobat Reader before you can view PDF documents.
