While I'm not for duplicating rules etc, it matters not that we don't like the law. The escape ring is to allow undersize crab to leave without damage that comes from handling - many lose claws etc when being removed from traps.again though, aside from "because I said so", or "because it's the law" ( neither of which hold much interest to me) - ive yet to hear a convincing argument for these changes- there is already a requirement to put back the small ones, so this just duplicates things- and if it's because they don't think people are doing that, then it's an enforcement issue- in which case deal with that, not create a whole new set of rules.
No one liked the seat belt law when it came in, but now I feel naked if I don't wear one....and there is a reason behind them...just like the escape rings.
