Commercial Dungeness Crab fleet ordered to end operations June 1 for whale endangerment concerns

An order to end the current crabbing season six weeks early in Northern California will deliver another blow to crab fishermen in Humboldt County after seeing record low landings this season, fishermen said. “The price on crab is very high right now. There might not be the most participation (out of the season) but there are still a lot of people who rely on springtime crabbing at a very high price,” he said. “It is quite unfortunate and sad that it is going to be closed earlier than normal.” California Department of Fish and Wildlife director Charlton Bonham ordered the state’s commercial dungeness crab fishing fleet to end its activities at noon on June 1, approximately six weeks earlier than the normal July 15 end for Northern California crab fishermen. All crab lines must be cleared by the end time set. >click to read< 08:33

    Call me crazy but it seems that this administration is mounting a full assault on the fishing industry throughout the country.
    Could it be that they would rather have electricity harvested from our nations waters rather than seafood? Sure seems that way to me. Get rid of the fishing industry and make room for the windmill scam.
    Invest in America…..Buy a politician.
