Partly Biodegradable Fishing Pots

Partly Biodegradable Fishing Pots - Conservation Magazine

I came upon this article on conservation magazines website. I found the idea of a partly biodegradable fishing pot compelling. During the summers since I was ten I have gone to Oregon to visit family. When I am there we always go crabbing. There is an issue with these fishing pots that I became aware of when crabbing. When fishing pots are lost they can trap other species not intended for their use, which results in their death. They have now created a biodegradable oval panel for the pots to prevent the demise of unwanted species.
