It is becoming increasingly obvious that merchant ship captains must be the most careless, ignorant creatures in the world. Exxon Valdez, all the foreign crap introduced into US waters by not following regulations on how to handle ballast water. Sailing one of the largest ships in the world into the Suez Canal during a sandstorm. It will never end. The government can make all the rules they want. It will make them and their naive supporters feel good but if the rules aren't followed they are useless.Also the people that thought it was a good idea to import cheap Chinese crap on untreated pallets can be added to the list of vermin.
Back in 2003 I was part of the first fish survey conducted in and around the Montezuma Wildlife Complex. We shocked the waters for 3 days and came up with some surprises in the nets. One of which was a huge mutant goldfish that was someone's pet or prize from a carnival game. It had no gill plates and its gills were just well, exposed. To this day, one of the strangest things I've seen in local waters. The Clyde river to be exact.
Can’t stop Mother Nature.Rg
