VMRC will impose more regulations on the crabbers
On Tuesday, April 23, VMRC will impose more regulations on the crabbers.
The crabbers have been accused of overfishing for years but they have started fighting back. Too late but they are fighting.
For over 30 years commercial waterman have been screaming about the degradation of the Chesapeake Bay that has been causing the decline of life in the Bay.
Although the crabbers will take another hit they have united and several environmental organizations have joined with them as they have threated suit.
Lawyers have advised them that they do have grounds for such a suit. This week the Virgina Waterman's Association will meet with an environmental group that has passed word to them that they have already prepared the legal work for such a suit. They have just been waiting for the right group to come along. They think the Virginia Waterman's Association is that group.
