Default Oyster Dredging?

Its my understanding that there is research supporting and condeming dredging. I personally see the reefs in the Washout area disappearing and the water clarity getting worse. I see the reefs in Westcove getting raped as well. I do however think that there has to be a happy medium as the oyster fishermen need to make a living also. I like the idea of rotating between dredging and tonging. Dredge 1 year and tong for 3. We also need to look back at the reason Sabine was shut to oystering. Just my opinion and we know what opinions are like.
