The problem when a government group manages a species or multiple species is that is in their best interest to keep the species in constant crisis to stay funded. Imagine if one day cormorants were no longer protected and there was a bounty put on them. (An invasive non-native bird btw). Winter flounder stocks would rebound. Imagine a massive dogfish cull.. Cod stocks would probably rebound. Imagine a seal cull.... Inshore bass fishing on the cape would come back. Imagine temporary shifting MPA's... Ground fish habitat would be restored. But.. Instead these agencies shuffle limits and manage their shell game...
Do you people actually think That the government would fix something to the point that they would have to lay off half of their work force because they fixed the problem that they are assigned to solve? I don't think so.
