 Tine,
This is an excerpt from our ICW log describing a cruise on the Intercoastal Waterway.

																		We passed many fishing boats along the waterway and a couple ofoyster dredges. The oyster boats scoured the bottom with a conveyer beltsystem that scooped up everything on the river bed and brought it to thesurface on its moving belt. Crewmen picked out the desirable oysters andclams from amidst the old tires and shoes before the belt rotated downwardtoward the bottom again. The residue was dumped back in the water. Theseboats appeared to pay not the slightest attention to the signs prohibitingoyster dredging in polluted areas. Raw oysters and clams suddenlydropped several places on my seafood appetizer list.
