Nets or crab pots found with permit numbers attached to tags are set aside and the owners are contacted to pick up their gear if they so choose. The gear is held for 5 days after notification. Unidentified gear is usually taken to recyclers or landfills. Most nets are not reusable because of the dense vegetation found on them.
