Hello Alwyn,
Thanks for the email. Do you mean you are not allowed to dredge in the first
2km along the shore ? Where did you read that ??
1) I don't dredge myself, but some divers I know dredge a little. It means
making a dredge and pulling it with a long rope behind the boat.
2) I tried trapping once but I never caught anything. (only shallow water).
Keep well and best regards,
 
Brian
