CCA is not fighting an allocation battle. It only looks like an allocation battle on springers. [/quote]

I think that this is a point of contention, when the commercial fleet adapts to a less lethal capture method, they will in turn want more of the allocation.
Saying it isn't so, doesn't necessarily make it so.
As a person who has been directly participating in the allocation process on the CR, on behalf of the fish and the sportfishers, I would have to say that CCA's plan will lead directly to more allocation for the commercials.
The only stake holder that would prosper under this plan is the commercials, sports and the fish will lose.
