The Chesapeake Bay's blue crab population nearly crashed a few years ago. State-imposed protections in 2008 hit some crabbers hard, but in one of the world's great environmental success stories, the crabs are clawing their way back.
Now, crabbers say it's their turn. Some want the protections relaxed so they can catch more crabs.

Virginia , a greedy bunch of watermen.
I've been crabbing for 35 years , this is the worse year I've had.
The bay is in trouble , the crabs are not in the bay like they used to be. It has gone down hill for the past 20 years at a steady rate. Don't be fooled by this sort of news.
Another resource going away slowly.
it might be going up because we are importing blue crab from indonesia to use in all of our crab cakes and bulk crab stuff.
