Description

Every year a group of volunteers gather at Christmas Bay to help pick up abandoned crab traps in Texas waters. Its a wet and dirty job that needs to get done. Jim Olive joins lead producer Dina Kesbeh to talk about the importance of keeping our waters free of these “ghost traps” and how leaving them behind poses a danger to our marine life.
