Well that didn't take long to decide, LOL.
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/environment/bs-md-crab-season-shortened-20170627-story.html I'm satisfied that these steps were taken, but I don't know what to expect for next year with these steps. More females then this year?
But it makes sense to lessen the female crab quota in the last part of the season, that's when the females head to the ocean to spawn.
Didn't need Davis on board after all, the folks in charge still make the final decisions. Davis was just the voice to let folks know what decisions were made. . Wonder how belton and Hogan feels about it? Those select group of waterman pushing for changes, well they didn't succeed after all. I'm glad.
