I agree with the end to market exploitation of wild game and fish and have said so many times. But what is the plan to bring this to an end with the fisheries?
Putting the buffalo and duck market hunters out of work was a bit easier because the public could see the destruction, with the fish it is out of sight out of mind.

If there is a plan I would love to hear it.
