I have a feeling that there are many supporters of harvest reform that also feel it's a recovery tool.
And they might have second thoughts on the issue if it were pushed as a status quo recovery option.
Oddly status quo recovery methods have produced the mess we now have, hard to believe that more of the same is a good thing.

So just how does over harvest become one of the H's, when in fact it's not a real recovery option?
