I don't fish back there much but It was nice to take the kids back there for some easy fishing and crabbing. There's another thing, so many families including mine have enjoyed the summers back behind the weirs crabbing, that's a thing of the past now. sucks.

If you don't know much about the scientific data, how can you be so sure its directly related to the weirs?
Not trying to be a jerk, just stating the obvious. Anyone can argue the weirs are the problem with ni evidence. I still stand by the fact that the reason crabs and shrimp have been so abundant behind the weirs is because they feed on dead vegetation. High salinities kill almost anything back there. Some of the CRMS stations put the average salinity at 12 to 15 ppt from March to November. That's a high average, and the salinity gets pretty high back there.
I understand people are frustrated with the management, but its not just one contributing factor.
