Dead crabs safetybay

Hi all.
I went down to the bent st boat ramp tonight to shine the torch for cobbler and there was a number of crabs washed up. Mostly small males. Would have been close to ten dead crabs for every ten metres of beach. This was the turn island side of the ramp towards that PIpe on the beach. I think this is storm water from the roads possibly polluting the water here? Pretty shit if u ask me

have snorkeled for crabs down there in previous years, and seen plenty of dead male crabs as well, and often ones with real strange colouring... Something fishy going on down there in the bay... crabs tasted like shit too
