I have watched more charter boats kill red snapper here in the gulf than any platform removal. The 1st year it went to 2 snapper per person , I watched and took picture (made a post on here) of them kill about a hundred snapper that floated off. I saw this many of times and still see it today!
When a platform is placed In the Gulf , no where does it state that it is a fish habitat . Once it has ran its time it will be removed !
This video is a rare case because we just removed 6 platforms and very few fish were harmed less than 20.
