Volunteers clean up crab pots

REEDSPORT — A handful of boats in Oregon’s crabbing fleet returned to sea last week for one last hurrah.
Their quarries were the derelict pots and buoys left behind this year by commercial crab boats.
During a volunteer effort held nearly seven weeks past the close of the Dungeness season, fishermen focused their attention on crabbing gear trapped near shorelines or otherwise forgotten at sea during the Dec. 1 to Aug. 14 season.
