yeah, i agree. the trawlers have been roto-tiling the ocean floor for far too long!
dogfish are more important than herring, in mass. right now.
but, your not going to close my fovorite striper hole, or shark/tuna hole, to "all types of fishing".
or turn them into "fully protected, no take, marine reserves"no matter how small they are.
just because the comm's are raping the ocean, dosn't mean you get to close 20% of our fishing grounds.
they want 20% of mass. state "inshore" waters.
which 20% should we give 'em?
