"I thought I had caught a fish, but when I got it to the sand, it was something else, " Emme recalls of her March catch in Montgomery Slough. She found a "funny crab" on her fishing line. "It was pink, " says the Oak Island resident with a laugh. Emme had reeled in a female blue crab with a fluorescent pink plastic tag. "It looks like an ID bracelet, " says Karen Freeze, Emme's daughter, describing the tag. This crab is part of a project led by Elaine Logothetis, a Wilmington-based biologist. Logothetis tags mature female blue crabs in the ocean to track their movements and determine. their migratory patterns. The study is supported by North Carolina Sea Grant's Blue Crab Research Program — which is funded by the N.C. General Assembly and administered by North Carolina Sea Grant. And aided by bright pink tags. "We weren't crabbing. We were fishing, " Freeze says. "We had never seen anything like that." "As much as we like to eat crab, we were out fishing that day, " she adds. So mother and daughter released the crab and mailed the tag to Logothetis. Each tag lists a phone number or a mailing address to report the find, as well as the information to provide — including capture date, location and fishing method. The idea for the crab tagging project came from an earlier research project. In 2002 and 2003, Logothetis and fisher David Beresoff received a grant from the N.C. Fishery Resource Grant Program — also funded by the N.C. General Assembly and administered by Sea Grant — to study the feasibility of a winter conch fishery. They used wooden conch and wire crab pots to catch whelks in the ocean. To their surprise, the traps yielded an unexpected harvest. "We caught an awful lot of crabs, " says Beresoff, who has worked
