Well, at least the State's recreational crabbers will have an extra month in those waters but additional time does not necessarily equate to additional opportunity - meaning if there aren't crab (or reasonable numbers) that extra time is a hollow "victory."

Heard straight from the crab bio that their test fishery in MA 13 was dismal and from Pt. Defiance folks that in MA 11 the Puyallup's had caught about 25% of their quota before calling it quits - at least for awhile.
