MonitoringLocationDescriptionText Site 3A: Sand Point. Start just north of Sand Point and work north along the shoreline. This area drops off quickly. Make sure to have 40 meter float lines for the deep ends. These sets are usually set at a 45-degree angle to the shore. Make sure shallow ends have enough weight so nets don't roll down the drop-off. 546869 Easting 4926854 Northing
