Community Outrage: Crabs Left to Die in Sun

In a Facebook group, outrage ensued as members shared their distress over a disturbing incident: crabs left to die under the sun. The conversation swiftly turned into a call for action and accountability.

Chris Millard initiated the discussion, expressing shock and heartbreak over the sight of more crabs abandoned to their fate. Louise George swiftly suggested engaging with the harbor master to address the issue promptly, emphasizing the importance of providing specific location details.

Marie Lepage shared her firsthand observation, indicating that the problem had persisted for some time. Mick Crossley advocated for releasing the trapped crabs, while Chris Martin singled out a fisherman, urging them to take responsibility.

The conversation sheds light on the complexities of fishing practices and the challenges faced by coastal communities. It underscores the need for both local accountability and broader systemic solutions to ensure the welfare of marine life and sustainability in fishing practices.
