12 Years After Guiliani's Massive Pesticide Spray Binge, Lobsters Never Returned to Long Island.
Remember 1999 and Guiliani's massive pesticide spraying of NYC followed by local towns around Long Island Sound? Well, lobster populations have never returned to Long Island sound and there are only a few hardcore lobstermen left.
Of course, no one is mentioning the tons of pesticides that were sprayed but that would explain why the situation is so critical "SOUTH" of Cap Cod, Mass. My guess is the pesticide altered the environment in a way that pathogens could develop and multiply. Also, lobsters live their lives and feed on the bottom of the sound, not near the top therefore if it were water temperature why wouldn't we see fish and other marine life closer to the surface die off before lobsters. Yes, the oil spill was 1996 and that combined with the pesticide spraying, I believe, is directly responsible for the lobster die off.
You cannot poison the delicate salt marsh and the waters of the sound without having dire consequences for the most vulnerable, the bottom feeders like lobsters. Lobsters may never return or at least not return for generations.
