Drift Card # 281

[mojjax]

I found this drift card today while diggin clams in Clarks Cove , So . Bristol , Maine .

I called the 617 number , And , a person answered the phone . It was David Delaney's father . I gave him the location and other info .

I asked him where this card was from - he could not find that specific info at the time , but , he said 2500 were deployed last summer from Marthas Vinyard , Portland Maine , Monhegan Is. , Schoodic Point Maine .

He said one was found in Norway , many in Canada , most from Mass. , Maine , Conn.

40% have been found so far . He said it was part of an invasive crab study his son was doing , mainly the Green Crab , wich is good - they are one of the main predators on the clams I dig !

That is really cool! My son launched a message in a bottle once, and someone emailed him that they had found it about 50 miles down the coast.

This is really interesting, but what does it have to do with crabs? I'm going to call the number and say I found on in Texas. I bet that would baffle them.

That would be fun to do with strange prophecies!

I am going to write "Smile if You Like This Chinese Food" on a slip of paper and send it to sea in a bottle promptly.
