Since quite a few people think closing areas is a good thing then why didn't we push for a moratorium on the stripers. This would stand a better chance of being adjusted in the future whereas once an area is closed for whatever reason it generally remains closed because you now get other groups involved, ie. PITA.
I would rather see a coast wide moratorium to help rebuild the stock. It meets the prerequisite of being simple to enforce and an be applied coast wide.
