Crab trap
Crab has been a viable food source since Native Americans lived and fished on the Delmarva Peninsula.Even early treaties between European settlers and Native Americans included provisions for the rights of "Hunting, Crabbing, Fowling, and Fishing.Ed Shields, a king crab fisherman was aboard a schooner at this time and recalls the Japanese encroaching on the Bristol Bay fishing area.Ed Shields says that his father sent a telegram to Seattle, ordering one dozen high-powered rifles for each vessel and one case of ammunition each.'"[6] The Derelict Crab Trap Removal Program was created by the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission in 2004.[9] The Maryland crab pot is a cube, generally two cubic feet and when baited and weighted, might weigh fifteen pounds or more.The end of the nylon rope is attached to a marked floating buoy so the location can be found and the pot retrieved.This is done by turning the pot on its side, stuffing the bait into the wire container, and closing the opening by securing the flap under the rubber tubing.[9] A crab trap which becomes lost or abandoned (usually by accidental detachment of the float) becomes an ongoing environmental hazard.This panel will disintegrate with a few weeks' exposure to seawater, opening the trap and allowing any crabs inside to escape.
