New Oregon laws aim to reduce whale deaths from crab fishing lines

© istock A new Oregon law aims to prevent whale deaths by placing new restrictions on crab fishing, The Oregonian reported Monday. Starting May 1, Oregon fishermen will reportedly have to reduce the number of crab cages they can drop and the cages will not be allowed lower than 40 fathoms, or 240 feet.  According to Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife data, there have been nine known cases of whales getting caught in crab lines in as many years, compared with four deaths in the nine years before that.  ADVERTISEMENT Environmental advocate Gway Kirchner acknowledged that whales getting caught in crab lines isn’t as big an issue in the state as in others such as California and Washington.
