   PER CURIAM.

Defendant was convicted of a violation of one of the provisions of ORS ch 481. On appeal the state confesses error, stating:

“Trial court erred in denying defendant’s Motion for Judgment of Acquittal because the statute under which the defendant was charged does not apply to persons who are not engaged in salvage operations.”

Reversed.
