#Hochul Urged to Ban #HorseshoeCrab #Fishing
Supporters of the legislation argue it would protect a declining horseshoe crab population, while opponents warn it will harm the #commercialfishing industry.
Reducing pressures on the crabs would help their ecological role, which includes providing food for migrating shore birds such as the red knot, a dwindling species that the federal government classified as threatened more than a decade ago.

Lobster buoys are sanded and repainted every season. Buoy colors are chosen by each fisherman to differentiate their buoys from those of others. Usually sanding and painting happens in a fisherman’s workshop but on this occasion I sat in my truck bed to sand.
