This might be a good opportunity to get this excitement pointed the right way and that is to stop draggers from killing off yet another species that used to frequent the rivers and bay. Why let it go to waste?

I think the proposed sanctuary is a great idea because the crabs are gone, the winter flounder are gone, and the fluke that spawn there are on their way out too. But it is not because of regulations inside the sanctuary. It is because of a lack of regulation outside the sanctuary.

Instead of "stopping", how about getting something positive going? We have everyone's attention and its a great opportunity to tell the real story - that the draggers are destroying the rivers and bay too. They are killing off the species that have occupied these waters every winter, spring, and summer when they migrate out to deep water.

I think this is a great opportunity to restore what we used to have - maybe oysters too. It would be a shame to let this opportunity to go to waste.

Bonus Points - Maybe this will stop the slaughter and waste of other species like whiting and ling. There are lots of tree huggers out there that have absolutely no idea that offshore lumps that used to rise off the bottom are getting flattened and that all the plants and animals are gone thanks to draggers. Now is a chance to do something about it by getting the message out past the choir.
