Default Shrewsbury River Cownose Ray Invasion +[VIDEO]

This happened about 7 years ago - the cownose rays came into the Shrewsbury River and stayed for several weeks. It's happening again this year for whatever reason. All I remember from that last time was that the crabbing was terrible to end of that year and for several years following. They are like crab vacuum cleaners. Thousands of them are in one relatively small ecosystem.

I made the interesting comparrison last time that when they sun on the surface and curl up their wings they look exactly like a shark fin gliding along. If you see what looks like a shark or maybe two small sharks swimming along side each other - that's a cownose ray.
