Well put.

My take: "Selective fishing" does not fix everything, or even most things, or anything. There are still ESA limits that are independent of how the ESA catch is caught. If they are caught selectively or not, it does not change the ESA limits.

Methinks the problem is with the ESA process.

Rolling off topic a bit, how does it work that we let the state manage it until it becomes endangered then NOAA takes over? The state of WA has never managed any endangered species back into health. What is the financial motivation for failure in that?
