CHARLESTON, Ore. - The season for commercial Dungeness crab won't start in Washington, Oregon and Northern California until the last day of 2005. Fishery managers in all three states made the decision this week. The season usually opens around December 1st.
Fishery managers concluded that much of the crab along the coast simply isn't in good enough shape to be harvested.
I love reading the articles about crabs. I am just curious to see if anyone is effected by this. What if they are starving? You always think negative about me
A humpback whale freed by divers from a tangle of crab trap lines near the Farallon Islands nudged its rescuers and flapped around in what marine experts said was a rare and remarkable encounter.
