Recreational cod fishing in the Gulf of Maine has been banned since August 31st.
Why this new emergency action includes a recreational fishing closure, on a fishery that's already off limits, I can't understand.

And is it really "closed" if every commercial boat still gets to kill, and $ell, 200 pounds a day, Every day?
