Divers-
Very informative info. but speaks very little about the inforcement of illegal takings. If the Coast Guard is the sole enforcement of making sure all maritime countries abide by the rulings then we are either neglecting our duties or just to thin to cover such a vast area-$$ costs? I think the later is the situation we have inherited.
Question....do the Maritime countries help fund the Coast Guard or is this the sole $$ responsibility of the U.S.?
Bottom line is we have a major problem when you compare the runs of the past to this years run- something is way out of whack!!! mad confused mad
