Mazama Newt Trap

2023-10-31 11:38:31 UTC

I made a trap for the Mazama Newt so they can go to a safer part of Crater Lake. This trap has holes to let the newt breathe, so when the newt is taken away they can breathe. It has a door that can open and close. There is also a buoy that is connected to a string that when the trap is full, it will float to the top of the water. This trap goes in the water, you wait for the buoy to come up, and then pull up the trap. Bring the Mazama Newt to a safer place in Crater Lake.

Crayfish Trap

Hello,this our project.

The box we attached on top is weight so it is close. We attached string that can hold the top and it is attached to the float, weight that makes the trap go down. There is small hook that has bait on it. It is so close to the string that when the crayfish bites it, it also bites the string which makes it release the sinking weight and makes the float go up which is still attached to the trap.
