I still feel that the simplest measure would be a straight-up cut in half for everyone. Recs go from 2 fish to 1, commercial quota cut in half across the board, and so on. The for-hire group must also be addressed and the taking of a limit of fish for every person on the boat (mates, captain, cook, ballwasher, etc.) needs to stop. This is how the law is written in NY, but from what I am told it is not enforced with the reason being that "it is allowed in all the surrounding states so why do we have to follow this rule?"
