Few Reef Fish Are Left

Dear Source:
Dear David Olsen, Give it a rest buddy. Please don't take this the wrong way, but stick your head underwater for a few minutes and you will realize that there are very few reef fish left in the surrounding waters of St. Croix. As so many have eloquently stated in the opinion section of The Source, the use of gill nets has significantly contributed to the significant decline of reef fish populations.
