did anyone see the photo posted on the other site regarding oil platforms using some sort of explosion? the picture shows what looks to be quite a bit of
floating red snapper. anybody know anything about this?

yea, that is alot of BS. If this is common practice and the red snapper is supposed to be "endangered" then why don't they make it mandatory to
inform people to where at least the commercial fisherman could pick these fish up and count that amount against there total weight?

i hear ya kmullen! i personally think they should just cut the top of the rig out and leave the bottom everyone wins. the fish keep their home and we keep our
fishing spot!

tihs is a veryy common practice and has been for as long as there have been oil rigs. i remember about 15 years ago back when my dad still had the old bow shop
on Lemoyne, On Target, some guys he knew who worked on the rigs came in with a video they took of when they set charges on one back then. they were the guys
who were on the barge by it and they had brought cast nets and long handle scoop nets to get the fish. they had netted and scooped something like 500 snapper
off the surface and there other boats around them doing the same thing so no teling how many it was total. but at least those didnt just go to waste.

the article said something of there being other, more environmentally friendly, alternatives to blasting now though. it seems that if there was a method that
would not cause so much distress to the surrounding sea life they would have been required to use better methods. the whole snapper situation is FUBAR
