Crab Trap Removal A Success!
Galveston Bay Foundation staff and volunteers assisted the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department with its 8th annual Texas Abandoned Crab Trap Removal Program on February 20th. The event spans over a 10-day period in February when all Texas bays are closed to crabbing with crab traps, and any traps left in the bay are presumed to be abandoned and considered litter under state law, thus allowing volunteers to legally remove any crab traps they find.
GBF volunteers helped remove 175 abandoned crab traps from Trinity Bay. Thank you to all who made this event a huge success! Click here to see photos.
