Sad day for Blue Heron Bridge

[Scuba_Jenny]

Thanks to all who signed petitions, spoke at the meeting, and were otherwise involved somehow in making this happen. Tis a beautiful day for the fish, BHB, and the diving community.

Not directly related but interesting none the less...

It would be a good thing for lots of people to stay away from the Bridge. Parking is hard to find.

Yes, the park fills up fast, especially on weekends!

So.. according to Moody Gardens, the divers were at 3 sites, 7 days of diving, and got 50 fish and 11 invertebrates. Those numbers seem pretty low. Sounds to me like Moody either is lying, or they hired some incompetent divers!

Oops

Can you get the FWC report on the collection? Do you have any confirmation from FWC that the group did indeed release some of the specimens collected immediately?

And most important, were there divers at BHB who witnessed what was going on and can refute the Moody Gardens statement?

Sounds fishy, pardon the pun.

ummmm.... This is a 7 year old thread...

Yeah, I just realized that, which is why I took down the post and put up oops in an edit.

A mutual friend of ours told me to check out Jenny‘s most recent SB post, so I did a search on Scuba Board and this is the one that came up. Didn’t even look at the gear.

The search function on SCUBA Board beyond sucks.

but while we’re at it, whatever came out of that collection? Was the Texas group lying about their collection, or was it just exaggerated? Curious, since I love BHB and it’s beyond amazing there.
