February 13, 2006 Mobile, AL., Back by popular demand, a Derelict Crab Trap Recovery Program will be held on Saturday, March 11, 2006 at several locations around Mobile and Baldwin Counties. The Mobile Bay National Estuary Program and Alabama Marine Resources Division are co-hosting the event to collect derelict traps within 500 yards of shore. Ghost traps can become lost due to storms, broken lines and neglect. These traps can continue to fish causing crabs and fish to be trapped and die needlessly. The traps are unsightly, can damage boats, and may cause personal injury. Close to 1500 traps have been recovered from previous efforts. Volunteers with boats are sought to retrieve the traps. Dumpsters will be placed at Fowl River, Dog River, the Causeway, Meaher State Park, Fairhope Yacht Club, Wolf Bay Lodge, and Pelican Point on Weeks Bay. For more information log onto www.mobilebaynep.com or contact Leslie Hartman 251-861-2882 or Lee Yokel 251-431-6409.
