Hey Nathan, I'm just having some fun. We are really quite careful with our env. here. There is tremendous growth along our coast and Charlestonians do not like change. There is a local joke - how many Charlestonians does it take to change a light bulb? Three, one to change it and two to admire the old one. Most local people do everything we can to keep what we have here. Most clean their boats between water sources, all of my peers follow the limits and size regs when fishing/shrimping/hunting. Our waterways are very clean and green spaces and tax sheltered natural areas are on the rise. In fact we just passed a .5 cent sales tax for more pub. trans and more green spaces. Not to bad for the Old South. Andy

I would worry more about what is on the shell of the crab rather than any disease the crab might carry. It could have a sprig of Caulerpa, Xenia, and Aiptasia, for instance.

It is all small potatoes when compared to the millions of gallons of ballast water that travel from ocean to ocean via large ships though. Lots of planktonic larvae survives the trip.
