Thats riddiculaus... they allow 15 a day ? ? ?
Who the f--- wrote that law / limit ? ? ?
It was written. Likely with a background about what's going on with the results of prior regulation.
Stay out of Lee county though!
Conch eats conch. Conch eats tulip snail. Tulip snail eats conch. There's more balance to consider when spawning ground condition and egg viability are studied and added. As in recruitment rates of age classes vs habitat conditions.
My first questions in my state when eyeing a species is what it's health is.
A goal of keeping it below habitat capacity is often best. And hard to prove what habitat minus a given specie would look like. Let alone just lower impact.
Our reducing prime habitat is what we do. Footprints of concrete , asphalt , grassed yards of little value to wildlife. Overgrown forest or eroding exhausted soil.
Algae boosting sewage and fertilizer and phosphates , and chemical dumps into water.
Foreign species introductions.
Wildlife and fisheries personal are up against it in determining regulations.
"We" certainly want science applied. Not that science concludes anything but it can focus on species balance and habitat balance.
Yet human social science enters the equation and politics get involved.
Horse conches are nearing extinction!!! No , they are not. So why is it claimed?
When were they endangered officially prior?
Now instead of logic and study of facts being applied we are running on emotion.
And believe you me ; emotion is not how to regulate fish and wildlife!
The plump woman complaining I was killing the grass in a park I didn't hear as I was wearing headphones ,my daughter (wisely?) waited till she left to tell me.
I'd have told her that her fat ass was standing on concrete that wasn't there when I was in my youth and that the built since then ice cream building she was in line for killed far more grass than I could if I tried. Then asked her how she liked her dead soiled parking spot or the artificial beach she was wallowing on in the sun earlier.
And did she damage any life waddling in the loose sand going back and forth with the herd of feet back and forth to the fake beach? If not; why was there no grass above the wave line?
Daughter suggested I not go try to find the woman.
Guess her ethics are better than mine sometimes...
