I disagree to some level on the closures/no targeting "not working" or being "unenforceable". While there will always be those that disobey, they can still get the desired outcome which is reducing the mortality to a lower target for any given year.
The hard part will be making it equitable. Since we are working to reduce the mortality by a certain percentage of the biomass it would likely be equitable for different durations and at different times/waves. I am not sure they will be able to get things done like that, but there is hope.
In any case, do the right thing this year and make a good assessment of how well or not it worked at the end of the year. Make any needed corrections the following year.
Closures / no target periods are needed to get to the 2029 restoration goal. Even with the cheaters.
