From Times Wire Reports
The governors of Virginia and Maryland announced in Colonial Beach that they would order the female blue crab harvest cut by a third this year to protect the hallmark seafood of the Chesapeake Bay.
Scientists fear that the crab population is reaching numbers too low to survive. “We do not want to wake up in five or 10 years and realize we have lost this important part of who we are,” said Virginia Gov. Timothy Kaine.
