Mosquito Lagoon Crab Trap Cleanup
The Coastal Conservation Association of Florida will hold an abandoned crab trap cleanup in the Mosquito Lagoon and the north end of the Indian River from the Titusville bridge north beginning at 8 a.m. on Aug. 15.
CCA member Chris Peterson, the owner of Hell’s Bay Boatworks, is organizing the event with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
Members of the cleanup team are asked to meet at
8 a.m. at the ramp at Haulover Canal, which also is the drop point for traps. Organizers need both shallow draft boats and party barge-type vessels to ferry traps to the collection point.
Participants will be treated to a cookout following the cleanup and also will receive a cleanup T-shirt. Participants are asked to RSVP no later than Monday by e-mailing CCA General Manager Dan Askin at daskin@ccaflorida.org or by calling 663-2588.
