Volunteers are needed to help clean the Bay is the upcoming Apalachicola Ghost Trap Rodeo Tournament

            Volunteers are needed to help clean the Bay is the upcoming Apalachicola Ghost Trap Rodeo Tournament.

 

The Ghost Trap Rodeo will be held on Saturday, January the 7^th from 10 till 2 starting from the boat ramp at Battery Park in Apalachicola.

 

The event is held like an inshore fishing tournament, but instead of redfish and trout, participants will be weighing targeting plastics, derelict crab traps, and other forms of marine debris.

 

There is a final weigh-in and winners share in thousands in industry prizes.

 

This will be the second year of the event; last January, participants collected over 4,000 pounds of trash from the Bay, including 78 derelict crab traps.

 

They also removed plenty of plastic and PVC pipe, a barnacle encrusted weed-eater, and plenty of other trash.
