With all the recent news coverage, turmoil and Green movements that have boiled to the surface regarding fish, I'm amazed that some group or concerned citizen has not challenged the use of non-selective fishing methods. I mean, Sportsmen are "required" by law in most cases to employ selective fishing methods, yet "commercial" fisheries are allowed to use methods that kill everything.

Yes, I know this just got blown away in the legislature, but why not a massive Green Movement or even a legal challenge?

With the Feds looking at Ocean fisheries, perhaps a wider view would look at all aspects of encounters...
