Frank Mazzeo was unavailable for comment last week but said in a Press of Atlantic City story last year that he did not know that using a dredge to catch the terrapins was illegal. He said in the article that he supported restrictions but not an outright ban on harvesting, saying the trapping of terrapins and fishing were how he made a living. He also said he sold the terrapins for $4 to $8 each and could collect as many as 450 in one day.
