Sounds to me like the fishermen are littering - they should be fined for each pot they lose instead of being put to work at taxpayer expense to clean up their mess.
Now, do I have this straight.
Crabmen lose thousands of traps every year in Oregon's $50 Million/year "most valuable single-species fishery". They have accumulated over the years to be a whale-killing, boat-snaring, "ghost fishing" menace for which WE, the taxpayers, must pay to fix????
I wonder what would happen if the oil/mining/lumber/etc. industries were to ask for the same help in cleaning up their messes?
