In Matagorda Bay, Texas the local fishermen and local County, Bay Authorities spent decades building up the reefs. Then one year about two years ago I think a bunch of out of State boats came in and destroyed the reefs. It is not like the government was out on the water keeping a eye on everything but that kind of destruction never happened before and it was not the local fishermen for sure.

This should be controllable — fishermen do not want to destroy their own environment.
I grew up in the country, where there were good farmers — they would not waste anything: they had done that for centuries. They rotated crops to restore to the land those nutrients which certain crops had taken from the soil. We learnt that at school.
With Neoliberal Economics of Reagan & Thatcher, large private corporations were given top consideration — the CEO’s are obliged to make a Profit by Law. These Corporations wanted to open factories where they would get the cheapest Work Force. During the 1980’s manufacturing closed down in First World nations, and re-opened in Third World nations — this resulted in Globalisation. We can see the results today. This has resulted in increasing inequality in our society. This only occurred since 1980 — it does not have to be this way.

Things are much more complicated than this. The red king crab have been on the decline for quite a long time. They are a slow reproducing species and it takes quite a long time for them to reach maturity. The snow crab situation is a weird one. Usually there is a NOAA survey that goes out and assesses the stocks each summer. But, when covid hit, the survey for 2020 was canceled. Prior to this there was a large cohort of immature snow crab growing that would have been ready for harvest the last several years. But, sometime between the 2019 survey and the 2021 survey the crab disappeared. Now where they went is unknown. Theories are that there could have been a massive die off, they could have moved out of the Alaska EEZ into Russian waters, or they could have moved off of the continental shelf. Without the 2020 survey data it is just not knowable. The point is these crab are no longer present in the fishery and are not available for harvest. Could some of this been caused by trawlers? Maybe, but not as much as is being said in this video. The thing with managing crab fisheries, especially in the Bering Sea, is that there is so much about these animals we just don't know. Things like the age of the animals. In fish management you can cut out their "ear bones" and see how old they are to determine maturity. But, with crabs, they moult all of their hard parts so there is no way to know for sure how old these crabs are when they mature. And that is a basic thing needed for successful management of a fishery.
TL;DR - Things are complicated in the Bering Sea and it is not just one factor that can explain the crash of these fisheries.

I've also read about Chinese boats moving in in recent years, though us over harvesting is also likely.
