Comments and Feedback
Unfortunately, one of the two nets that were marked for recovery was lost in the storm last week, hopefully, it may wash up on the beach somewhere further down the coast. The other net recovery and removal went smoothly and we were able to bring it back to shore and cut free and disentangle approximately 40+ crustraceans. The recovered net has been there for several months and the crabs were in a pretty weak state, they should recover. Thanks to all who helped cut them free - it wasn't an easy task.
