Mako has the right idea..... the way to fix this is to work to change the system- and work to bring a change in language in Magnusen/Stevensen Act; to affect the mandate that the commisioners are required to work with- now its "maximim sustainable yield". Under those guidelines, they are required to keep catching (killing) levels at the highest possible without the stock collapsing. that is THE GOAL of MSA

the StripedBass Management Board can only work within that framework.... amendments to the Plan will only bring about changes to achieve the exact same goal.
IF YOU WANT THE GOAL TO CHANGE- then you need to change the basic rules they operate under
