No, we stick togehter as much as possible and support people who are willing to do the heavy lifting to change the culture from Harvest to conservation. Otherwise, the MPA will cover our open waters.

Im just convinced, we cannot overlook the demand for food. Buying out licenses, doesnt increase the food supply, if its not harvested.
A little perspective is needed. I saw a show last year in which Erin Burnett from CNBC went to INDIA. Its all about developing markets, ie business opportunity. They have thousand of people each month, who ARE NOW ABLE TO EAT TWICE PER DAY. So, whats for dinner? How much salmon would it take to feed millions of people in INDiA. (currently, other fisheries are being overharvested )
