admin Site Admin Posts: 144 Registered: December 1969	SNAGGED A TRAP? CUT A TRAP? SET A TRAP? LOST A TRAP? Wed, 13 November 2002 11:12 Tue, 17 September 2002 12:52 I have recently been contacted by Sandra Dinsmore, a writer for Working Waterfront, published by the Island Institute. She is doing a story on the numbers of lobstertraps in New England waters, particularly in Maine, and the challenges and hazards they present. Every buoy represents both a fisherman's investment in his livelyhood and a potential snag for boaters. Are there too many in Maine? Are the channels chocked with them? How can recreational boaters avoid the buoys? What should be done when one is snagged. Most of my opinions can be found here[http://coastguides.com/sidebars/buoys.html] or in my responses to the following threads. Appreciate your thoughts.
