Bay Scientists Seek Crab Sanctuary
posted 11:24 am Sat October 13, 2007 - BALTIMORE
The Maryland sanctuary would protect a narrow section along the Eastern Shore that is a popular fall place to crab.
A number of sanctuaries already exist to protect oysters. However, crabs move throughout the bay and some say a sanctuary will just redirect crabbers to other spots.
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation proposed a sancturay 12 years ago, but the idea did not get much support because scientists couldn't be sure it would be effective.
