and so it begins,............sharks [View all]
lately the charter fishing captains have determined that sharks in the coastal waters are detrimental to their livelihood. Seems the bull sharks have discovered a good meal on the end of the lines tossed by tourists and residents alike and like a grouper sandwich without the bread to be great; so in the captains eyes' the sharks gotta be eliminated.
The past four evening news casts have featured the problem and the captains solution. KILL THE FUCKING SHARKS!!!! No one has looked at the bay and mentioned that overfishing of the shark food supply, mullet, has caused the shark to switch menus. Nope, only thing to do is eliminate the sharks, over and over again Nope, no one has said over development and warming water is a problem for mullet reproduction, or that the death of seagrass beds are a part of this mess. No, only that the sharks are causing economic havoc with one industry.
I've been a transplant to the west central coast since 77 and their used to be schools of mullet everywhere. Now? No such thing.
