I in no way assert that the Recovery Plan itself is runaway science. I was referring specifically to the topic at hand in this thread, the use of MPAs or, let's call it for what it is, closure areas to manage 2 specific fish species that are currently being properly managed.

The use of descent devices would bring the recreational incidental mortality to nearly 0 under current restrictions.
