*Very useful information in verifying location and other information pertaining to the reported derelict gear. There are no penalties associated with reporting lost fishing gear.
Please be aware that removal operations are currently underway through the Northwest Straits Marine Conservation Initiative in all of Puget Sound. We are removing nets only and cannot guarantee immediate removal unless a net is causing a danger to navigation or to human safety. Location data will be kept on crab pots for future reference but we are currently not funded to remove crab pots.
To report by telephone call 360-428-1084.
