Adam, I'm late in responding but I do appreciate you posting in response to my original post. I see some things in your comments that seem to validate many of our concerns.

KY State University has a huge aquaculture program. Why not throw them a bone and get them involved in this? I've not seen them mentioned in any way concerning this problem.

If an issue was affecting the horse industry, the powers that be would find truckloads of cash to fight it. This issue is so far just affecting us in some area not covered by the golden triangle so it isn't important yet. It will be when the revenue from tourism dries up.
