That's an odd coincidence,,,
For the first time ever, the Bering Sea snow crab harvest is closed, and for the second consecutive year, the Bristol Bay red king crab harvest is as well. "Alaska cancels Snow and King crab season"
Listen to the mainstream media and they'll tell you that it's because of global warming,,, I call bullshit, it's the Chinese. In a video posted to the Knowledge_Base section of this website titled, "What China is Doing to Kill Us All", outlines and examines China's illegal fishing industry and the adverse effects of their harvesting practices. The above video was published 11 months ago and explained what was happening and the effects it would have,,, and like clock work, they shut down the commercial crabbing industry.
The upside here on the Gulf Coast of Florida is that they don't have to worry about poaching from chinese fishing fleets. However, the shrimp fleet is still working on getting their boats repaired and back into the water. There's still many that are in service and should be scheduled back in with full hulls in a coupla weeks. They've got allot of work ahead, but it's what they do and they're gonna keep gettin' it did.
Be that as it may, I thought I'd share After and Before videos from F.M.B.
