Love the colorful markers. I imagine a lot of these are used for the adult coloring books on the market today. I actually bought an adult dot to dot book and enjoying it a lot.
Hi Vivian. The colors and designs are to let other lobstermen know who the trap belongs to. It is supposed to keep others from taking the trap or any lobsters in it, and if traps are found ashore after a storm, they can be returned to the owner if the finder recognizes the buoys.
