Alaska snow crab harvest canceled for first time
Alaska snow crab harvest canceled for first time ever 02:34
In a major blow to America's seafood industry, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game has, for the first time in state history, canceled the winter snow crab season in the Bering Sea due to their falling numbers. While restaurant menus will suffer, scientists worry what the sudden population plunge means for the health of the Arctic ecosystem.

An estimated one billion crabs have mysteriously disappeared in two years, state officials said. It marks a 90% drop in their population.
Freshly caught snow crabs sit in containers on a fishing boat at Mikuni Fishing Port in Mikuni, Fukui Prefecture, Japan, on Friday, Nov. 6, 2015.

"Did they run up north to get that colder water?" asked Gabriel Prout, whose Kodiak Island fishing business relies heavily on the snow crab population. "Did they completely cross the border? Did they walk off the continental shelf on the edge there, over the Bering Sea?"

Ben Daly, a researcher with ADF&G, is investigating where the crabs have gone. He monitors the health of the state's fisheries, which produce 60% of the nation's seafood.

"Disease is one possibility," Daly told CBS News.

He also points to climate change. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Alaska is the fastest warming state in the country, and is losing billions of tons of ice each year — critical for crabs that need cold water to survive.

"Environmental conditions are changing rapidly," Daly said. "We've seen warm conditions in the Bering Sea the last couple of years, and we're seeing a response in a cold adapted species, so it's pretty obvious this is connected. It is a canary in a coal mine for other species that need cold water."
Prout said that there needs to be a relief program for fisherman, similar to programs for farmers who experience crop failure, or communities affected by hurricanes or flooding.

When asked what fishermen can do in this situation, with their livelihoods dependent on the ocean, Prout responded, "Hope and pray. I guess that's the best way to say it."

Man and it’s cuffin season too, where are dudes supposed to take average to below average chicks to eat now, because I’m assuming Red Lobster will be impacted and that “all you can eat” crab deal that gets em wide open might have to be cancelled? Can The Cheesecake Factory or Pappadeaux fill the void?

More manufactured news to increase the price on shit or justify it

**edit**
I was informed the shortage is due to overfishing and global warming. As usual, white people can't do anything in moderation. Hunt as if there is a never-ending Supply. That's their motto

My bad. I misunderstood. There are so many hoaxes going on as reasons to drive up price I thought this was another one without reading

As someone said, there's going to be a lot of missed boat payments this year

Boat payments are going to get missed this year. Some of those cats on "The Deadliest Catch" be on the verge of losing their boats. Gonna be A LOT of cod fishing.

I saw a dude post his off shore boat yesterday for sell. Commercial fishing has ruined the fish population and folks don’t want to admit it. Flounder fishing has dam near been shut down during their migration in all states but commercial boats are allowed to catch them. It’s not fake news about depleted eco systems of fish.

Damn.... Deadliest Catch about to be cancelled this year. I saw that cod fishing this year on D.C. and I was surprised how much money those things bring in!

69% average decline in wildlife populations since 1970, says new WWF report
  • Wildlife populations in Latin America and the Caribbean plummeting at a staggering rate of 94%
  • Freshwater species populations have suffered an 83% fall
  • The report’s Living Planet Index shows that there is no time to lose in securing a nature-positive society
 
Greedy populations will eat shit into extinction. Boats and people pollute the ocean. People say global warming a hoax. Stores selling fruits without seeds and people just accept it and get more strung out on the system. Everyone need to have a garden and if you live in an apartment get a community garden. I got so damn dependent on the super market a few years ago I had to stop and catch myself. We too greedy on this planet.
Social media and cell phones have us lose our appreciation for nature and human interaction with the environment. :smh:
 
Alaska cancels snow crab season as estimated 1 billion crabs mysteriously disappear

​


SEATTLE (KOMO) — The Alaska Department of Fish and Game canceled all opilio snow, red king crab, and blue king crab seasons for 2022-2023, in a major blow to North Pacific fishermen after trawl surveys revealed the stock is below the threshold for opening a fishery.

The announcement came Monday after crabbers had pressed the North Pacific Fishery Management Council during its October meeting to do more to reduce crab bycatch in trawl fisheries.

“On the heels of that decision came to an announcement that Bristol Bay red king crab will be closed for the second year in a row, and Bering Sea snow crab will close for the first time in the history of this fishery,” according to a statement from the Alaska Bering Sea Crabbers, Tuesday.

An estimated one billion crabs have mysteriously disappeared in two years, state officials told CBS News.

The group said this decision will cause $500 million in losses. They added it's already been having a rippling effect on businesses and communities. “People are simply going to go bankrupt and they’re not going to be able to feed their families they’re going to have to sell their homes boats are going to go up for sale, longtime crew that have worked on these boats for 25 years they’re all losing their job," said Jamie Goen, executive director for Alaska Bering Sea Crabbers.
What the crab industry is facing is heartbreaking and what’s worse is that it is unnecessary. It didn’t have to be this way,” she added. “The crab will eventually bounce back and could do so sooner if the North Pacific Fishery Management Council had taken steps to protect the stock, as requested by the fishermen themselves.”

The owners of Wild Salmon Seafood Market in Seattle said they already had a limited supply of king crab, but this decision will also hurt the consumer by driving prices up. “Things have been cut back and things have been closed, and you know it’s been dwindling every year for many years," said Jon Speltz, the owner of Wild Salmon Seafood Market.
Snow crab populations declined after a 2019 Bering Sea warming that scrambled the broader marine ecosystem. Last year’s snow crab harvest of 5.6 million pounds was the smallest in over 40 years.
The causes of the snow crab population collapse are still being researched but likely include increased predation and stresses from the warmer water.
This limited supply means higher prices for customers according to seafood price experts. They tell us this is big deal in the industry because there are only a few places in the world that harvest king crab and snow crab. “The United States, Russia and Canada, which just harvested snow crab, and Norway. Now two of those places will not be available, to the marketplace. The U.S. now because of these quota cuts and then also Russia because the U.S. still has a ban on imports because of the war in Ukraine," said Janice Schreiber, the director of seafood price-current at Urner Barry.
Alaska, within the limits of a federal management plan that comes up with an allowable biological catch, determines how many crabs are caught. Meanwhile, Alaska Bering Sea Crabbers tell us they are pushing for more conservation measures to get these fishermen their jobs back.

the whole world is fuckin up on us....brah
 
We had certain wildlife jumping dead for no reason. But it was always the same species. Such as black birds falling dead. Then something else would do it but always the same species of whatever it would happen to.
As for honeybees 50 million fell dead and they found out it was from pesticides and fertilizers from Beyer. And for a lot of years here in America honeybees have been disappearing.

The world is stuck in a vicious catch-22 the more prosperity the bigger the population growth, and the bigger the growth the more demand and strain we put on the planet's finite resources leading to shortages higher prices, and even wars over those resources.
The question is do we try to regulate consumption and growth and fall into NWO traps, or do we continue with our laissez-faire approach acting as if the world will magically grow resources to meet the demands of the world's cancer-like growing consumption rates? I have never gotten a definitive answer to this question.

Well said, it sounds like we're in the midst of a societal death spiral of nature.

Unfortunately, once you come to the realization of how things actually work in regard to growth and limited supplies, then the prospect of collapse and destruction becomes more of an inevitability, rather than something that can be negated with the quick-fix solutions most politicians and the general public are suggesting. This a very depressing outlook of the future, which begs the question, is it truly better off not knowing these critical facts about the direction we are headed, or are we better off simply going about life, like everyone else, ignorant and living blissfully in the current moment? Once you have opened this pandora's box of information there is no possible way of unknowing, but are we better off trying to alert people of the situation, in hopes we can band together as one for possible solutions, or is it better just letting people be, without raining on their parade, even if it means the exacerbate of the inevitable.
