CDFW is seeking applicants for the 2021 Lost or Abandoned Commercial Dungeness Crab Trap Gear Retrieval Program. Removal of lost or abandoned trap gear reduces ...marine life entanglement risk during the summer months when large numbers of whales are present off California. Removal also reduces navigational hazards which pose safety risks and can impact other fishing operations. The program allows permitted individuals to collect lost or abandoned commercial Dungeness crab gear after the close of the season and to receive compensation for retrieved gear. Permit applications are limited to sport or commercial fishing organizations, non-profit organizations, and local government entities such as ports or harbor districts. More information about the program is available on CDFW’s Whale Safe Fisheries web page: https://wildlife.ca.gov/conservation//whale-safe-fisheries
