Calcasieu got lucky that Omega Protein moved.
Keep raping the oysters, the system will suffer. It did suffer from 2010-2012, but came back in 2013 when the pogey plant closed.
As has been mentioned, there is a more sustainable approach (tongs) to harvesting oysters that is better for the ecosystem.
No one us saying don't harvest oysters. The point is to do it in a sustainable way with minimal impact on the ecosystem.
