wouldn't the new type of mooring make it worse? Truly, it would be an INVITATION to put traps all
around one's mooring.

Besides, would it inspire confidence on the part of consumers that their lobsters were trapped
in a mooring field with relatively toxic materials leeching off of the bottom of the boats? I,
for one, don't really want my lobster to eat a diet of copper.

PS: moving a trap without the permission of the pot owner can get you in BIG trouble in some
areas, Larry. Some lobster fishermen carry guns aboard and aren't shy about using them to protect
their property. Just sayin.
