I didnt mean to start a slam the save the bay discusson. The reality in my mind and Jonas can relate is that in Wickford, come July, I can't keep bunker in my pen in my slip overnight becasue they will all die. Yet I can do that from May - June. Does the water suddenly become polluted in July? Wickford has a lot of back water coves and does not see a lot of fresh (oxygenated ) water coming in to these coves. I think thats the main reason for the fishkill. To offset the bunker issue, in the EXACT same areas, there are and will continue to be billions of snapper blues around. Wouldnt they, and the shiners they feed on, also die or leave the coves?
Just my uninformed 2 cents, as P23 says, I am an observer and have little scientific backing, but sometimes you CAN see the forest for the trees.
