Today, members of Florida Airboat Association cooperated with Tampa Bay Watch to help remove abandoned and derelict crab traps from the Alafia River.
Four FAA airboats showed up plus the Carolina Skiff of TBW. Withalacoochee Regional Airboat Club, West Coast Airboat Club and Hillsborough County Firefighters were represented.
NewsWatch 8 covered the event as did the St. Petersburg Times. The kicker boat of TBW had the photojournalist onboard when it hit a derelict trap, wrapped it up in their prop and the boat was completely disabled. We had to cut it away with dikes.
We got very good press from NewsWatch 8's Bob Hite.
