Also, if you catch one with a tag- we aren't asking you to release it. We just need you to call us with the tag info (or report it online). After that, you can pull the tag off and do whatever you want with the crab.

but how could you tag it so it wouldn't prevent the crab from escaping the discarded shell? I would think anything that stays connected to the inner crab would keep them connected to the old shell wouldn't it?
and of course if I ever caught anything tagged I would absolutely turn it in along with whatever info I could give about it.
I was speaking that if I caught one to put a tag on it and release it, in terms of my own greed and love for crabs, its hard to throw one back even though that's being greedy
