Todd - I disagree. As Fish Doc indicated, if M-81 passes, commercial netting will still be allowed in the Safe areas, but those would NOT be gill nets. So, if M-81 passes and the Gov's proposal is implemented, the commercial folks would be limited to the Safe Areas with whatever gear is legal, as long as it's not a gill net. So these two measures are not mutually exclusive.

Don't feel bad, it took me awhile to get to where Fish Doc landed a long time ago.
