Class 0403 - Save The Crabs

Those of you usually have heard, "Save the bay." Well, save the crabs is one in the same. During the turn of the century oysters and crabs were plentifull. Now oysters are only one percent of what they were. With chicken farmers having their waste runoff going into the bay, it seeps poisonous nitrates. This causes Pfesteria in the fish and causes them to die.

How can we do our part in saving the crabs? Well, for one we can stop eating the female crabs to help with the population. The other thing is to advocate for more regulations and enforcement instead of, spending money on more research.
