Re: Cables cramp crabs
Interesting.
We create a harmful environmental footprint even when we're trying to do 'the right thing'.
There used to be concerns around human health and powerlines, such as this association with leukaemia
https://bcmj.org/bccdc/living-near-power-lines-bad-our-health but that seems to have dropped out of the popular narrative.

*I think. Might have been one of the very early commercial cables.

Re: Cables cramp crabs
Many moons ago we ran some field cable (as used in the distant past for military telephony) down a Scottish hillside in order to record some data from a Hydro plant. We had no problems with crabs or sharks, but the sheep took a fancy to it.
