Shark,


I don't disagree. The problem that always comes up is the science and whether it's "good" or not.

Fisheries science is unlike many fields of study in that there seems to be an endless list of variables which aren't well understood. How these variables effect the overall health of a particular run also seems very difficult to predict.

It's kinda like weather forecasting..........difference is, when the weather man is wrong, you get rained on for a day or two. When the fisheries guys get it wrong, the repurcussions can last years.

Crafting a set of regs to protect fish while providing the most opportunity to fish is definitely a tightrope walking act.
