Fish kills and food for thought

Imagine if we, as recreational fishermen, did something that caused two massive fish kills in the space of two weeks.

What would the reaction of the waterfront residents and seaside towns be to our actions?

Would they be outraged?

Would there be a call for restrictions and a halt to rec. fishing because of it's impact on the bay?

We may have the ammo we need to counter the arguments against access inside these events. How can property owners collectively characterize themselves as stewards of the environment and us as pigs in light of what is happening?

The logic of that argument is false, and the proof is on the front page. These massive fish kills are one result of waterfront development.
