Crabs On The Rocks

[redchaserron]

I was thinking, not only is left behind crab string unsightly, but it's also a hazard for wildlife and birds. Much like many areas have river clean up days, I might approach some local kayak and fishing clubs to host an annual "string thing" doing string cleanup at our refuges. Most people don't realize that public recreational access isn't the primary mission of the refuges and by and large it's not required. Misuse can lead to loss of privilege. I'm not sure if it's still this way, but for a time Sabine had banned cast netting from their docks and wharfs because people were leaving behind all of their by-catch. It would be a shame to see any more restrictions just because of user neglect.
