 re: Signal Crayfish
With respect to Airehead I understand to a degree where you are coming from but, lets face it, the current law states that if you see one report it to the EA. In doing so the EA make a note and do sweet FA. Some of us, like me, are keen conservationists and have been for some time. Scuba diving has merely made me appreciate and understand an environment I don't get to get misconceptions about on a daily basis.
So, explain this. Three years ago when I went for a leisure dive in the same area I was playing with trout. On Tuesday there were NONE. Not a single one. And this is the time of year all the little fellas should be darting about.
Every single rock had a nipper under it. You know where I'm talking about. At the back of the hole at about 5m I gently lifted a big boulder and here must have been 50 baby signal's under it.
I took a lot of care with what I did and have thought about it again and again and I'm buggered if I'm going to sit back and allow these things just to sit there and eat all around them. I'll write to the Yorkshire Post. I'll do whatever.
Leave the armoured Yanks to the Lebanon or wherever else they want to go but leave my local rivers alone. Anyway, what's wrong with responsibly eating them anyway? Would you rather go to Morrisons? |
