Alaska's snow crab season canceled for second year in a row as population fails to rebound
Alaska's snow crab season canceled for second year in a row as population fails to rebound
The snow crab crisis in Alaska first began in early 2022, after biologists discovered an estimated 10 billion crabs disappeared — a 90% plunge in the population.
Spoiler alert: Every natural phenomenon that requires cold to be extreme and constant is not going to have a future.
unfortunately this includes ocean currents and when they stop we are fucked, the weather won't be stable enough to grow food anywhere.
I hope folks hear this.
Our food system is begining to fail. How do we get this out like we kinda did the bees.
We need to tie those together.
And the mosquitoes and malaria/dangue.
Stuff that effects folks directly... Plague and famine
But we gotta keep doomerism and cults-of-death-for-some-greater-afterlife at bay.
There's opportunity abound, we just gotta grab it. Green new deal stuff.
We hear it, but we already knew. And the ones who won't listen won't listen. We have been here before countless times, and we will fail again, like we always do. Then, we will recover and muddle through thanks to the underfunded and overworked ones who care.
Nah, women are having abortions and liberals are transing our kids, which is clearly far more important.
Fishermen are probably so fucking pissed with the woke authorities telling them there are no crabs. You can’t eat all the crabs, isn’t the ocean endless or some shit?
Fishermen might not have PhDs but they're not idiots. The snow crab population didn't just vanish over night, it's been falling year by year. Not to mention there are size limitations to legally harvesting snow crabs to keep the population sustainable, and being a fisherman necessitates a minimum degree of awareness of crab sustainability whether it's for legal or practical reasons.
Fishermen aren't all idiots. They understand that no crabs means no crab fishermen.
But if they don’t fish then their neighbor will and will make more money. Tragedies of the Commons don’t give a shit about longevity, this is about industrial and corporate profit.
In March they were fishermen protesting against small quotas. Then came the marine heatwave.
Good stop eating crabs
Eating crab didn't cause this you utter donut.
It sure doesnt help
