No one knew that was going to happen especially in such a short time span of observation.

[@richardelliott8352]

tv news is so lightweight, I learned nothing I didn't already know, which was very superficial because my knowledge was from two years ago when the first closure made the news,

[@50calpulse76]

It's called overfishing period

[@michaelcowan6254]

Other countries, especially China, have over fished the areas.

[@trappedinkalifornee]

uh..... .because they have been fished close to extinction....yeah thats it all right

[@TonaldDrump686]

Bicatch and overfishing perhaps.

[@mikeemerson4284]

They've had a lot of foreign competition to fishing out of season and fishing over the allotments

[@2IGs]

Passenger pigeons. Used to be 3 to 5 billion of them, most abundant bird in North America. Gone in about 20 years. Not that hard to imagine really when it's happened before.

[@nofeerz]

volcanic activity and seismic activity remember how the polar bear was to disappear ? and thriving now that many communities are scared to death of the increase

[@joewoodchuck3824]

They're scared because the bears are adapting to new conditions and getting closer to places they didn't habituate before.

[@mivy2452]

Maybe they’re in the other 95% of the ocean we haven’t explored yet.

[@skreebduchank1501]

My guess is the Chinese over fishing.

[@jimmyculp8756]

My son ordered one pound of snow crabs on our vacation this summer! They cost $50, now I know why!

[@rose415]

How many crabbers just said “fake news” when discussing warmer ocean

[@Pacificcityfishing]

Fukushima?????

[@vf12497439]

Oregon salmon fishing collapse in the early 90’s lead me to truck driving school. It was never the big payday of some fishing seasons but it’s always put food on the table.

[@macarthuralexander7215]

Overfishing?

[@CynthiaGreene-il1fe]

we are on borrowed time...

[@MilesCobbett]

Perhaps all the giant corporations that have huge Trawl nets that drag the bottom of the ocean and destroy everything

[@coldspring624]

Nothing to do with Fukushima nuclear disaster

[@Rink03]

Too many still believe Fukushima is pouring tons of radiation in the oceans every day, they couldn't be further from the truth, its been Over a decade and we have yet to see the doom and gloom predictions appear from Fukushima
