Hines is up- dating a Ust of inshore and offshore Atlantic hangs and obstructions. He recently traveled to the Alabama Sea Grant Program to observe how agents there put a similar list on com- puter. The hang log includes the Loran coordinates of wrecks, vessels and other structures buried in the Gulf. Gulf fishermen can request the entire list, or they can have agents print out a list of hangs for a specific area. Hines wants to develop a similar system for Atlantic hangs. He knows a hang can cost a fisherman hundreds of dollars in torn or lost nets. And the obstructions often make ex- cellent sportfishing and diving locationa If you have hangs you'd like to con- tribute to Hines, write him at Box 896, Atlantic Beach, 28512. Or call 919/247-4007. Or if you'd like a copy of Sea Grant's Hangs and Obstructions to Trawl Fishing Along the Atlantic Coast of the United States, send $2 to Sea Grant. Ask for publication number UNC-SG-83-01. For more information on Alabama's hang log, call Sea Grant agent Tony Lowery at 205/661-5004. Or write him at Alabama Sea Grant Advisory Service, 3940 Government Boulevard, Suite 5, Mobile, Ala. 36609. Celebrate the state's seafood heritage at the North Carolina Seafood Festival.
