It’s all just cascading over the edge. Each point of failure has 12 resultant points. We just can’t get a win.
Cascade failure here we come
I’ve dived in the Mar Menor in Spain, and walked on the shores of the Baron Island. The shores on the island are literally full of oyster shells, but I’ve never seen one on the seabed. The decline of mollusks and their filtering function is one of the factors in the decline of the water quality that has reduced the biome’s diversity. Tha major factor is fertilizer runoff from intensive farming nearby.
Haha. The rich won’t have any oysters to eat anymore. Oh well. That’s their problem
They’re like swallowing snot anyway. I’ve never understood the allure. Also there are filtering all the shit out of the seafloor water, I’ve peed in there.
Much like corpses, there’s a certain amount of excrement we’re willing to accept to swim in salty water.
The article is about historical natural abundance of oysters in Europe which people seem to have entirely forgotten.
Today’s oysters are all farmed anyways and most are consumed as a normal ingredient in east-asian dishes.
