This is undoubtedly one of the reasons for the decrease in crab count this year as reported by fishermen.

It was like the way Disney depicted it in Pocahontas! Anyways, I'm am really disappointed by this- this past Memorial Day we went to my Grandma's, who lives on the Bay, and we had to drive (i got to drive, actually, which was fun) a half an hour to find blue crabs for sale, because they're getting so much more rare and expensive! Aren't we supposed to be meeting some pollution requirements or something?
