Commercial Dragging has to stop.
With the recent JV with Eastern European countries still happening around NE
This stock will never recover, just like west coast salmon.
If they are intercepted before the get back it will never build the biomass back.
Unfortunately I do not think ASFMC ,NMFS and MFW really want to build it back up to a sustainable level.
Read Vanishing Species. Good read.
