If we can't save this species, don't expect us to be capable of saving anything else.
In the last ten years there has been more attention on this species than most others, with the exception of crabs, oysters and striped bass. Since the closure of the commercial fishery by the legislature in 2007, very little has been implemented to conserve the species and its habitat.
