I don't know if it is all true or not, but I do know two people from here that do a lot of crab fishing in that area and they have said for the past year of so that something was going on. They are just fishermen and not scientists, so they are just going with what they see from their catches and they also said they do see more dead fish and other sea life on the coast than in past years. Maybe just a passing thing.
