Commercial Fishing Nets

Gill net

Do not tamper with net markings!

It is against the law and puts others at risk!

  • This includes intentionally or unintentionally cutting, moving, or damaging buoys while trying to recover tangled gear.
  • Steer clear of the nets to avoid tangles.
  • If you do get tangled, cut your lines and do not disturb the markers. Missing markers put other boaters at risk.
  • Those witnessing net tampering or unmarked nets should report their observations to the RAP Hotline 1-800-292-7800.
