Re: Crabs
According to the authorities :
"Dallas D’Silva, the director of fisheries management at Victorian Fisheries, said it would continue to monitor the fishery closely this year with patrols and further research. The recreational catch limit of one litre or a combined total of 30 crabs is unchanged."
“Fishing is confined to a small area and there is no sustainability concern,” he said. “Commercial fishers are also not targeting them, so the current controls mean lots of crabs get to moult.”
By the time the boating restrictions are lifted because of the current corona virus the crabs may have moulted and gone anyway.

Re: Crabs
I’m no expert on crabs Senior but I reckon a close shave could only improve the situation.
