I dont doubt we are depleting the Ocans of life. I can see it right here in St. Mary's County as Crab and Fish and Oyster populations are down. Soem counries like japan uses more fish than we do and they send out trawlers with nets hat are 50 miles long or better. Thats right 50 MILES long.. What they dont capture and use they kill . Right here in opur waters seine fishermen kil many fish that get gilled in their nets but are too small to sell.
I believe the answer is farm raised seafood. In many states farms are raising catfish, and Shrimp and other species. Even oysters can be farm raised. The best places for these farms are wetlands,.but of course we cant use the wetlands here in marylandbecause the envirowhacko's are more worried about ducks landing than raising farm seafood.
I suppose that could be worked out some day. I have wondered why they havent taken all those ponds they created when they dug out the gravel mines over at Abells wharf and started a seafood farm . Maybe they have. It sure looks like a great spot for one.
