Shut it down for 5 years, then re-evaluate the situation. That is hardball.

The Northeast has not seen a decent bunker run in decades. There is plenty of evidence to support that.
That would be hardball. But if they are being overexploited right now, how does capping at the average of the past five years seem like a good management practice?

Everyone - I can see a big fight looming for menhaden in Narr Bay. Anyone want informally nominate a couple people to help become a public face for S-B on this issue? I would like a couple nominations / volunteers.

Thanks,

John
