We've had our share of posts of family members and long time great people involved in the fishing industry who have passed over the last two years the result of a variety of reasons, endured horror stories about the most devastating health crisis in our lifetime so I'd hardly label this thread the darkest most depressing report ever posted here. And what started as an informative post about the impacts of invasive species to the Great Lakes and Finger Lakes continued with impacts new invasive species are threatening natural resources and agriculture locally which happens to be the third leading industry in New Jersey.

If that's the kind of stuff that makes you laugh, that might actually be the most depressing thought posted on this site.
