Sick nature

Darla Rooks, a fisherwoman, told Al Jazeera that she is finding crabs “with holes in their shells, shells with all the points burned off so all the spikes on their shells and claws are gone, misshapen shells, and crabs that are dying from within … they are still alive, but you open them up and they smell like they’ve been dead for a week”...
...Along the Gulf there have been reports of collapsing fisheries, mutated shrimp, fish with oozing sores, underdeveloped blue crabs lacking claws, and eyeless crabs and shrimp...
