My biggest worry is like Eddie said, a total collapse. We fishermen are right now the eyes and ears for most destructive fishing. Being many miles offshore there will be very few if any eyes or ears out there to be able to see what is happening. By the time something catastaphic were to happen it woulld be too late. Overall taking the pressure off of our natural land based Salmon and Steelhead would be a great idea. Ever been to Neah bay and watch the commercial fishing boats feeding the huge processor ships nonstop? They dump the by-products (fish) over board and they are floating everywhere, dead or dieing. Very sickening, wonder how much one of those shoulder mounted rocket lanchers cost? It is out there everytime I go out there. How can anything replenish at that rate. mad
