I admit those mitten crabs are pretty scarey looking, but has anyone put them in a pot and steamed them? Wr could be killing a food soruce.

the bay is in a transition to wherever it is headed. i'm just glad i was here for the blue crab the blue fish and the oysters when they were good (not necessarilly so now). now it is out of our hands. science can backfire and often it is just a guess for an outcome. stop the polution and the strong will survive.

i am totally ignorant of most of the problems surrounding the bay (i am from Kansas City) but, what about after dumping the ballast water the ships use the new water in the ballast to cool their engines and raise the temperature in the ballast to the point of killing whatever is living there. i know that there would be a lot of variables to consider, but maybe worth giving some thought...
