The good news -- the bay is less polluted.
The bad news -- the female blue crab population is dangerously low.

Its time to pay crabbers like we do farmers to not crab for a couple of seasons.
What it's time for is to stop eating sooks.
I was taught a long, long time ago to let them go. But, just like everything else, the GD dollar bill has become destructive of even the blue crab population.
CBF can take a long walk, how can you believe anything a lobbying arm of the democrats say? CBF, mpt and DPR should be kicked off the tax nipple for good. BTW,did you see the daily times article? DPR the voice of our community, HA!!! The voice of stalinist mother russky more like
all the automated crab picking machines use sooks because they are very uniform in size....ban the sale of sooks and the crab population will soar...
Good Lord! The CBF is just lobbying for their own interests, not ours. The money you give them goes to their own paychecks, and they offer no solutuons that work because if the ever did, they would cease to exist!
Think about that for not only a moment, but for the next year!
To add,the top half of the Bay has all the seagrass buried under the sediment overflow from the Conowingo Dam, whose settling pond has been full and overflowing for several years, so there are no crabs to harvest from the north half of the Bay.
Ask the CBF exactly how this was allowed to happen under their watch, not how "They" hope to fix it, because they obviously have no plan or solution.
But just keep giving them money because of their name and their "supposed" goals.
SOS SAVE OUR SOOKS !!!
Take the watermen out of Nanticoke Harbor , mission accomplished.
First of all,Steve at 7:41 is right.The majority of the bays problems flow downstream from elsewhere.
Second,if they would allow for more striped bass to be harvested,the crab population would stabilize.
"The Chesapeake Bay program, a regional partnership managed by the EPA..."
That's where I stopped reading. Anything the EPA touches is poison. Same goes for the USDA. No thanks.
Just a thought, decades ago all we heard was bring back the rockfish. There are more rock in the bay than I have ever seen, big ones and they eat crabs for a living don't they?
