Since dredging it has plummeted downward and guess what ? We are still allowing dredging with out any solution and you trust the Goverment ?
CMON
Did you notice there were at least 50 guides who showed up and more than half left after the weir discussion because it's the same old ****
We can't answer nothing or we are not the ones to talk to blah blah blah

If I had to put my money on it based on the chart and the data given.... I would just say the decline is probably 75% dredging and 25% other factors. But that is just a gut feeling.
As far as "Trusting the Government"... that's a little out there. I'm saying that I believe that the Oyster Biologist that was in attendance last night was credible and is doing his best to help the Oyster fishery in our estuary with data and practices that he feels is the best available.
Maybe what we learned from this meeting is that we need a more diverse audience to voice our concerns. If CCA can organize this meeting, why can't they organize another one with decision makers. Make these guys answer the tough questions. Voice your concerns to the people making the decisions!
The problem is even if you get the decision makers in the room, no decisions will be made right on the spot. These things take time and usually require a panel of people voting on the issues. While this may not give the 50 guides the immediate satisfaction they are looking for, it's the system we have in place. We just need to work it properly.
