Grant's Getaways: Winter Crabbing in Oregon

Dungeness season is upon us! Commercial crabbers around the state have readied their boats and pots because on December 16 the state gave the green light on harvesting the succulent crustaceans. Oregon has the only sustainable Dungeness fishery in the world certified by the Marine Stewardship Counsel. Commercial fishermen and recreationalists alike are only allowed to keep male crabs measuring 6.5 inches across the shell. Females and smaller crabs must be returned to the sea to ensure healthy populations. See the story: http://traveloregon.com/trip-ideas/gr...
