Hello,

When you are trawling, what are the dangers that are associated with that? Can you get catch in the trawl, or pull up dangerous sea life?

Ryan,
No real dangers are associated with trawling. All the sea life is safe to touch with your bare hands. The only dangerous part would be for the marine techs putting out the trawl in really rough seas or a storm, but they would never do that during those conditions.
Thanks for the questions.
