It's a good resource development activity, but it also puts money into fishermen's pockets,
The fishermen that did work them for a couple days before we had to close them down for red tide said that there's resources out there that they could make a living off of,
The areas that are producing are so small consumers would be lucky to see a Florida oyster right now,
We've got a lot of toxin in the shellfish themselves,
This is probably the worst time of the year to have depressed oyster production because as we move into the cooler months, demand for oysters increases, ... The holidays is the peak.
We don't know if any of it's going to be funded at all, and if so, we don't know what programs it will be spent on,
Everybody down there is definitely having a tough time because they can't take anything to market, but they will be able to harvest again.
If that happens, that oyster will not come back ever unless you dump oyster shells,
This is certainly a low in the oyster industry in the state of Florida right now.
