Here is the Question of the Day:
The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission announced that it will not adopt a proposed bait harvest for female horseshoe crabs in the Delaware Bay. Crab numbers have plummeted since the 1990s, and many had expressed alarm on the effect the harvest would have on declining numbers of red knots, which feed on the eggs of the crabs during their migration. What should the state of Delaware and the fishery commission do to protect the crab, the red knot and other wildlife in and around the Delaware Bay?
