[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2180400, member: 12952"] Since you haven't answered let me explain it to you . A lobster trap isn't just a box one drops into the ocean . It is a highly regulated device that allows the gov't to decide how to manage the breeding stock of lobsters and other marine life . The gov't decides which areas to allow their use , what sizes can be taken by area , and who can be a lobsterman . One must deal with State and Federal gov't requirements along with USCG inspections . In order to "protect" whales all lines must be marked differently for each type of use , currently lobstermen use the color red to id their lines , so that if a whale does become entangled in lines the segment of the marine fisheries can be identified. Each lobsterman is limited to the amount of traps which they can place into the water per what their license allows . Even the buoys used are regulated , along with what types of lines that can be used . [/QUOTE]
