Browbeat??? So what, fishermen have proven for 50 years that unless someone "browbeats" them they will just keep going fishing and bitching about how bad it is getting!
If browbeating works then everyone should be doing it and it does work, no one wants to spend anymore time doing things that are not fun, but unless you get involved, it will just keep getting worse.

I'll bet every commercial fisherman on the west cost belongs to their organization and many of them were "browbeat" into joining. They seem to have plenty of power!
