It was announced
that billions of snow crabs
have gone ‘missing’
causing the ‘harvest’
to be canceled
for the first time ever.
Coverage seems
to imply the disappearance
is a great mystery.
It isn’t a mystery
and it wasn’t a surprise.
The Canadian government
released a report
years ago
talking about how
snow crabs
(and eventually lobsters)
won’t be a viable industry
as the oceans warm
and become more acidic.
They suggested
businesses in the industry
look for alternative sources
of income.
Anyone who remained current
in the snow crab industry
(which includes restaurants serving
snow crabs,
the tiny tourist places
that sell
snow crab-themed products,
etc.)
knew this day was coming.
They would have prepared
for it.
Ensure you or someone on your team
reads the reports
involving your industry.
That information
could save your business.
