There won't be any oyster harvesting jobs when the stock is completely depleted...

^^^This. You can't take oysters from the North end of the lake because of the coliform levels so everything under the "fire line" is getting over fished. There is basically only one live reef left on the south end of the lake. I think your only options to save what's left of the oyster population are to close the fishery down completely for oyster harvesting or move to a tong only method.
