Too bad there isn't some way to put people to work cleaning up some of the environmental hazards and maybe rehabilitating the wetlands, if that is even possible at this point. It seems like if you could bring back the wetlands that might help the fishing industry to rebuild.

Hopefully some creative minds can come together on this.
