Crabbing moratorium?
Should we just close down crabbing in the Chesapeake for a year? We’ll discuss what's being done -- and whether it's enough - to protect the crab population of the Chesapeake Bay with Bill Goldsborough, Senior Scientist for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, and Yonathan Zohar, Professor and Director of the Center of Marine Biotechnology, University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute (UMBI). From noon until 2, today on Midday, WYPR-FM, 88.1

Without the support of Virginia, wouldn't this just make a stupendous year for Virginia's crabbers?

I'm all for a moratorium if it helps save the crab population. Seems to me, though, that Virginia and Maryland must work together if a moratorium is to be successful. If we establish a moratorium and Virginia doesn't--or doesn't cooperate with us--it just means Virginians will feast on crabs and Marylanders will get zip.
