'New normal' for Chesapeake's struggling rockfish?

 

For the eighth straight year, Maryland scientists found well below average numbers of young rockfish in the Chesapeake Bay.

This summer's survey, released Monday, showed the best results since 2018, the last time that surveyors counted an above-average quantity of juvenile striped bass, or rockfish. But with “young of the year” index of 5.5 this year — compared to a historical average of 10.8 — Maryland scientists aren’t really celebrating.

Harris loses his cool, refuses reporter's question-

 

   (WMDT)                                    

... after being asked why he attended this year’s forum, Harris had a viral, combative exchange with reporters and threatened to call police on Capital News Service reporter Cat Murphy for recording him after he incorrectly claimed Maryland’s two-party consent law applied to a public forum.

“You wanted the war in Iran, you said that it could have gone smoother and it could have gone better. What did you mean by that?” asked Murphy.

“Take her camera. You’re gonna have to take her camera. She is violating the law. In fact, get an officer in here,” Harris said. “She’s violating the law on two-party recording.”

Afterward, when pressed by reporters to answer questions, Harris refused to answer.

“All right, guys, [Murphy is] ruining all your chances to get an answer about anything. See y’all,” he said. Harris took no further questions and left.

(Pocomoke Public Eye note: The two-party recording law applies to the recording of private conversations.)
