If I read that correctly it looks like they did a sample run down of what 2017 seasons would have looked like with 2017 projections using the new management objectives. In doing so it would have shut down 7, 8.1, 8.2, 9, etc to make up a very small impact that wouldn't make much of a difference in the freshwater netting impacts. Even if these new objectives and ESA impact limits are upheld isn't there a better solution than shutting down all the guys that both provide funding for and are passionate about saving our fish?
