Signs warn against trap tampering

Anna Maria public works employees John Kania and Cameron Parker post signs Nov. 22 at the Bean Point beach access warning that tampering with crab traps may be a felony. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission signs were installed at other popular fishing locations on the beaches in Anna Maria, including Spring Avenue, the city pier and the corner of Gulf Boulevard and Magnolia Avenue. Holmes Beach public works foreman Dave Benton reports the signs will be going up at four locations in the city, including on the beach at 30th Street. Islander Photo: Kathy Prucnell
