#BLUE CRAB DELIVERY FREE#

To help blue crabs stay alive and thrive, their environment must meet three crucial conditions - cool temperature, moistness, and free of stress. Second, the bacteria that grow inside a dead crabвЂ™s shell are not good for human consumption and could make someone eating it very ill. First of all, the meat will turn mushy and not be as appetizing. If youвЂ™re shipping blue crabs alive and they die, they cannot be consumed. However, the FDA does not regulate the shipping of the seafood outside of basic sanitary practices and it is instead on the shipper and the shipper to make sure the packaged seafood is kept safe for consumption. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandates that facilities that process and ship out seafood products undergo mandatory inspections periodically. Improving the overall water quality of Chesapeake Bay is not only a goal to help humans but also sea life like the blue crab. For blue crabs, in particular, that has been important as the bay grasses they need to lay eggs and hide from predators are still on the road to recovery. Roughly 10 percent of the crabs in the bay are harvested each year, which makes the blue crab a sustainable seafood.ДЇisheries in Maryland and Virginia have used science-based guidelines for combating overfishing.

HereвЂ™s the good news - since hitting a low point in 2014, the population of blue crabs in the Chesapeake Bay has rebounded to about 594 million.
