Description
"Newport Crab Trap Floats" by Thom Zehrfeld
Crab Floats are used by Crab Fishers to designate what Crab Rings (Pots) belong to who.
There come in multiple colors but, what really designates one from the other is that each are numbered.
When crabbers set their crab rings in the ocean they throw the rings overboard and mark them with a float and, mark the GPS position for each ring.
There are hundreds of them set out during the crabbing season if not thousands.
If you poach one of the crab rings that doesn't belong to you they throw away the keys to your cell!
