Damn, I just wonder how many ghost gillnets there are still out there, stuck below the surface unseen still doing their job.....

Your private use crab trap requires a marker buoy and owner identification.
Why in hell doesn't a commercial net?

And five cute seals is unfortunate, but what about hundreds of lost fish, that are actually endangered?
I think it's time to have volunteers and fisheries actively look for and retrieve lost gear and reopen the closed hatcheries for wild salmon.
