Capt Juan do a little research.Every fishery scientist in the world has said pollution has done as much damage to fish stocks then anything else.Now add over fishing to that then that is a problem.99% of all commercially fished for fish spend some time in near shore waters(within 50 miles)!!Were do you think the mercury in Swords and kings comes from.You would fall over if you knew all the crap and chemical that have been dumped in over the years and is still getting dumped in.Up till a few years ago if you swam around any lighted marker in the ICW or out side inlets you would see used batteries laying all around it.The CG when changing the batteries would just chuck them in the water!!So untill they got busted thats what they did.That was the CG what about all the other people and companies chucking stuff in the water that have not been caught.Hell 100 miles out I think you can dump oil in the water?Dont forget the cruise ships that were shoveling there garbage over the side.Not untill they got put on video did they stop that and now they just dump it off the back out of site!!
