Menhaden: Most Important Fish in the Bay Page #3

---

It's their responsibility.

Each one of these sheds has

approximately 32,000

chickens in it each.

Those chickens eat about

They do this all

very mathematically.

You know, I don't care what

people say about the bay.

I know it looks

a little different,

but all our kids have grown up

in the water in the bay.

So I don't know what all

the doom and gloom

is all about.

There's 45 million

pounds of chicken sh*t

dumped into the bay each year.

I mean, look at that.

That is entirely chicken sh*t.

And over here.

Look how close we are

to the water.

It's right there.

Chicken sh*t.

Water.

We gotta have

improvement in the economy.

We got to develop.

I say we develop

the hell out of the bay.

And then we can pay

to clean it up.

You know, a lot of people...

a lot of people...

gave me a hard time

when we put up

the desalination plant.

With that desalination plant,

we increased the capacity

for poultry farming

in the area.

The desalination plant

filtered water from the bay

so that people could drink it

and use it

for the chicken industry.

And everyone just assumed

it would take anything

harmful out of the water.

Your lawns benefit from that.

We have pools

that are in operation.

And last but not least,

I don't know about you,

but I think this is

the best darn water

I've ever tasted.

People were worried

about the economy and the water,

but mostly that

wasn't their focus.

They were just doing

the American thing.

You know, trying

to make a living,

dealing with their children,

enjoying their lives.

And everything seemed

really pretty good.

Someone do something.

Do something!

What's going on?

Mommy!

- What's going on?

- What happened?

Oh, my God.

Has anyone seen my husband?

What's happening to me?

Please help me.

I need my husband

and my kids.

I need to go to the hospital.

Someone needs to get me

to the hospital.

Almost done.

We should have a report

of who the winner is shortly.

I need to go to the hospital.

Someone needs to get me

to the hospital.

I've never seen

anything like that.

Ohh.

Ooh, are you getting that?

Are you getting that?

He just vomited.

Are you getting that?

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God.

It's okay... miss, cut

the cameras, please.

It's all right, Tiffany. You're

almost done, sweetheart.

Danny, where are you?

This is a lens cap?

- Am I in frame?

- Mm.

This is Dr. Jack Abrams.

He was the head physician

in the emergency waiting room

at Atlantic Hospital.

He would actually end up

treating over 350 patients

over the course of that day.

And he would die

later that night.

Could you take

off your shirt, please?

Just... can you... turn around
