The obvious question is “why not sell the farm” and exit the aquaculture world. But I’m quite certain that far left legislators have created SO MANY rules and regulations it has made doing business in California nearly impossible. It’s actually a horrible situation where lawmakers pass bill after rule to make farming more sustainable, yet these same lawmakers haven’t stepped into a farm their entire lives.
So many "environmentalists" are very poorly informed and operate exclusively on emotion. The lawmakers don't care what makes sense as long as emotional voters seem happy. 🤷♂️
I have produced huge halibut on the side of those farms sad to see them leave sad to not be their harvesting halibut, but you must change with the times gracefully and gradually.
The power company does not own that property. 🏗️ I don't know why there's a water desalination plant there. 🧟 Sounds like a bunch of power industry fraud there that needs to be stopped. 💥
@@Pedasi66 really! Let's see I'm in my 60's and started scuba when I was seven. My Dad started diving when scuba it started in the 40's. And he had been diving for 20 years before I was born. I grew up diving and snorkeling California cost and the southern islands. The coast today looks like a desert compared to when I was a kid. The kelp beds were a couple of hundred yards wide and stretched the pretty much the entire coast of California and Oregon. In the early 2000 I was going to become an instructor. I would hear the new divers talking about how beautiful it is, when their is nothing there anymore. I felt like that American Indian commercial back in the 80's standing on a hill in garbage crying. Sorry to tell you sport the ocean is dying! Sick and dying seals, dolphins and fish are washing on shore. When was the last time you went diving? My last dive was 2018 Because I can't take the heart break anymore
@@Plutogalaxyno it wasn't! It was way less than that! There ain't never been any commercial fishing on California coast. It was dude's with endless fishing poles and divers with Speer gun's, and taking lobster, abalone. It's the sewage discharges that happens every year like clockwork. If you had seen what our coast was like in the seventies you would be saying the same thing I do. Now It's a desert compared to then.
how could they be so shelfish?

They've got a lot of muscles.
So, again, a conglomerate dictates the use of a local resource…infuriating! I am grateful the CEO is poised in a positive direction. Namaste.
What a refreshing attitude this gentleman has. I imagined an angry, rant-filled interview. I was wrong.
Glad we sold and left...beautiful city but terrible place to live
You sound bitter
So did it improve when you left?
New large high value homes coming to this area! its always about the money.
Well, do you have an alternative to capitalism?
The crazy taxes to keep waterfront properties has nothing to do with capitalism. My taxes are insane cause my town has a boatload of social programs.
@@thomasjgour4678 Maybe those taxes are because the 1% have ridden off with 90% of America's wealth gain since the 80s?

Until next decade when ocean temps go down. Then what will we blame it on?
@@atatterson6992 Blame it on Trump.
What an odd transition from shellfish farming to conservation. Makes me wonder as to the unspoken motivations behind this transformation.
Is shellfish farming not conversation? Wouldn’t you be conserving the natural population by giving those eating it an alternative to wild caught?

end of an era. i'm glad they're going to donate their equipment to others.

They will surely be missed!
How is the lagoon not State property?
wish I knew all these yrs where I couldv'e bought them
Do the people have any control, or does NGR Energy own everything and control everything?
this is why solar is so important to use clean renewable energy that free from corporate over lords.

Will the water quality improve or decline after the closure?
Probably will decline
Decline
Sad. Things like this really suck the soul out of everything. Then everything just looks the same.
So, where am I supposed to go for fresh oysters?
Sad.
No more dollar oysters 👋 🦪
Oysters are a huge part of a healthy ecosystem because of the way shellfish filter water. Just one Oyster can filter 50 gallons of water in a day.
We just going to ignore the fact that they imported their shellfish and caused a norovirus outbreak?

I hooked my largest halibut in the second lagoon years go. it was huge!
How does a halibut get in a land locked lagoon? Or is it really an estuary (open to the sea)?
@@Jon....... You do not understand. they come in, and out. through channels.
Hooked? Or landed?

By far the best mussels you’ll ever taste SAD TO SEE THEM GO
Mussels are bait. Eat oysters.
Then you have never had Prince Edward Island mussels, they supply 80% of the world's mussels. By far the best

Move to hawaii and start up...
I think the water is too warm for oysters and mussels in Hawaii.
PLEASE PROTECT the NATURAL WILDLIFE there with ALL your HEART.💜🦤🌟🙏🏼
Carlsbad Aquafarm was linked to a norovirus outbreak
Because one time the demand was so high they had to buy oysters from Mexico.
Esting oysters is just dangerous and ignorant
