2010 ART at Bass Rocks – presented by SeaArts

Held June 8th at the Bass Rocks Golf Club.

Featured local artists and some of their work, a great forum to listen to the artists speak about their work.  A great evening understanding the motivation and personal story behind each piece.  We were also rewarded with a rainbow ‘Nature’s own painting’ at the end of the program. 

I have captured some of the artists and their work below in a slide show; I hope to also put together a short video of them speaking about their work.  Please enjoy and support your local artists, and watch for the video on GoodMorningGoucester.

Lobster Eye View – Inside A Lobster Trap Up Close And Personal

See the plastic tags along the top of the trap?  Those are trap tags.  They are issued by the government each year and it is a way to enforce the trap limit each lobsterman can fish.  Each year each lobsterman gets their allotment of trap tags and every trap must have one in it.  If the enforcement agent pulls up a lobsterman’s gear and it doesn’t have a trap tag it can result in a fine.

When HACCP regulations came into the seafood industry it made wood handled shovels not usable for food handling and the industry turned to plastic shovels rather than the old wood handled and aluminum shovels we used growing up.  These plastic shovels suck for chopping ice and you need to put at least two or three shovel fulls of ice in the smaller plastic shovels compared to the deep strong hard aluminum shovels we used to use that would hold much more ice.
