All that has been said is true, even after the clubs have their conservation dates and clean up the beaches. I for one am constantly amazed at the trash picked up on the beaches the MBBA cleans every spring. Dumpsters overflowing! Maybe it would help if we as fisherman or conservationists pick up some trash everytime we leave the beach. After all I am sure that all who are reading this do follow carry in and carry out!
Regarding the lobsta traps, I think they should be hauled up to the dunes or high banks and allow motha nature to rebuild the sand areas around them. Leaving them in place simply creates a hazard. Anyone ever stumble over one in the dark in waist high water? Frightening at the least. I don't think I have ever seen anyone claim a trap in my many years on the beach.
