This boat was working its way around Dungeness Bay last Monday. There are a couple of things they might have been looking for. Green crabs have been found here, an unwelcome, invasive species. And last month a fish farm in the San Juan Islands accidentally released tens of thousands of Atlantic salmon into Puget Sound waters. They don’t belong here either.
That is going to be a tough job trying to get the invasive species out of the water. I wonder how they will do that.
Gosh that’s quite an invasion of those waters Kay. I’m wondering how so many salmon were ‘accidently’ released here 😶
From what I understand the fishery first blamed the solar eclipse, saying there was an excessive tide. Then it came out that their pens apparently weren’t in particularly good condition and nets broke.
Invasive species, so often the result of a blunder by human beings.
I was reading recently about another invasive species let loose in one of the Great Lakes. Crazy stuff. At first I thought you were talking about green cards, so I had to read it more closely. Perhaps I’m just getting old and don’t see too well. Right?
Oh my – that is too bad. Such carelessness is always a danger. Great picture of the boat though.
