Mosquito spraying kills crabs and greatly increases the mortality of peeler crabs for soft-shell crab watermen. Finally, we want a sensible science-based conservation policy for the Bay fisheries that the watermen can understand and work with. We want to see for ourselves how the science is arrived at that limits our licensed right to harvest the fishery. We want peer-reviewed science that is free from the the kind of political and social agendas that the bureaucrats in Annapolis seem so intent on foisting upon us. Finally, we want a Chesapeake Bay that we can pass on to our children in terms of living and working in one of God's prettiest areas.
Watermen are the salt of the earth.
