I disagree with these regs. Appropriate measures were just taken last year to reduce the blatant poaching by moving the demarcation points and reducing the take at several over pressured runs. While I agree with a marine water possesion max of 24 (currently no minimum) and a 24 inland / 12 for specific runs. I think 12 is too restrictive.. I also think taking of herring should not begin until at least April 15 - give a lot of herring a chance to spawn before being taken - not while swimming up to spawn...
