Ok my last video journal of the project (everyone cheers!!) Day 13 final day, using sonar to find crab pots that had lost their floats. Grabbed pot 28, 29, 30 (& a bunch of old wood) More days we'd have more pots out. #crabs #kayak #kayaking #seafood #traps #chesapeakeBay #NNK

yeah the challenge is real. Luckily MD/VA started improving the chesapeake watershed about 15 yrs ago and its had a big impact. I am worried about NOAA though. None of it happens w/o them.

Good Luck in Texas. Nature is resilient if you give it a chance.

yeah I cheated this year, and haven't tested above the waist. I also have float suits. They are going in for a test in March for sure.

Brilliant. My wife and I do it as a kayak hobby on our shoreline, and one of the non-profits I work with has a few organized creek clean ups organized each year. Never a port-a-potty though πŸ‘

I started a program this winter collecting ghost pots (lost crab traps) www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I moved to the western shore of the chesapeake bay. Dock, shoreline, and an infinite amount of boating/kayaking/fishing in any direction :)
