The fish "pie" is no longer large enough for everybody to get what they want and still have fish left over for escapement. We are into an "either-or" situation where there will be winners and losers; there are no win-wins.

As long as AK and BC keep calm and carry on we will have many stocks that are overfished before we see them. Go to AK/BC and cork WA.

If we take the available harvestable and impacts in the mixed-stock fisheries (ocean and northern PS) we eliminate some inside/terminal fisheries.

If we maximize the terminal area fisheries, which probably have the best chance to meet conservation goals, we reduce/eliminate the approach fisheries.

The proposal offered a way to get the most people on the water catching the most fish. Comes at a cost and I think that "they" (the big evil they that controls us) prefer recs to fight amongst themselves rather than settle on a solution the benefits some at the expense of others.
