The thing that bothers me is why can they not reduce the coastal quota by 10% every year for five years. Leave it up to the states on how to distribute the catch. Maintain commercial quota, reduce recreational to 1 a day however it works the best for the state. Then raise the SSB thresh hold by 10 annually for three years. Once the stock gets to a point say 30% greater than what it is now. Then try what ever you want. But why can't the bar just be raised

They can't do that because that would raise the SSB above what is necessary to achieve MSY, by law they are required to manage the stock to MSY.
