I remember reading an old cook book by M.F.K. Fisher, a famous foodie, where she writes about the extrordinary abundance of shellfish and other seafood from Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the US. She could never have imagined what it is like now. A big toxic dump of an estuary with even the crab having a had time surviving. She would have been incredulous. It was not that long ago.
