Bob hope all is well. I've seen Commorants coming up with one flounder after another in the back of Shark River. Fish ranging in size from keepers to postage stamps. Are they a contributing factor to the decline of flounder and every inshore species, I would have to think they are. But recruitment levels declining 90% annually from 60 million to 5 million, the associated destruction of another spawning stock biomass (same as what were experiencing in the summer flounder fishery) in addition to skyrocketing catch levels in the '80s that weren't managed properly are the key drivers causing the demise of this fishery.
