Not sure how to get around that issue, except to close the ocean fishery, and to leave it closed. Permanently. But how realistic is that?


Not much until a federal judge says "You shall". Then the jig will be up. Until then not so much as the mixed stock harvesters will take a huge hit. It is not if that will happen but rather when. Our focus on habitat ( which is needed ) rather than come to Jesus and recognize the harvest has a huge impact on weak stocks. Depending on location either can be the driver we choose to not recognize this. Our bad and we all will pay right along with the fish on down the road.
