I am opposed to this recommendation for it will put an even further restriction on commercial crabbing which is regulated to death at this point. The device would severely reduce the catch of blue crabs and with license restrictions, many would not be able to sustain the fishery. While I understand the importance of protecting terrapins, this method would create a negative impact on the crabbing industry that far outweighs the positive impacts on the terrapins. Please vote no on this recommendation.
