Send all the blue crab 🦀 you want to the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, it's a staple here.

Protect the planet protect Mother Nature

I never heard any edible invassive species in China...

The most invasive and destructive species on the planet is calling other life forms invasive and destructive.
The irony.

[stevodakine]

[donnamoyer]

Oh, I believe they do have a predator. It's catfish I believe.
