They changed the way they compute the threshold this year so comparing it directly to years past is comparing apples and oranges. If they used the same method as in past years, the fishery would be below the threshold and deemed overfished and in danger. They say the way they do it now is better...hmmmm one has to quesiton the timing of implimenting a new approach.
I do not trust them anymore.

Is herring overfished? What about Cod, Bunker, scup, weakfish, tog, fluke, winter flounder and eels? These people can't manage themselves out of a paper bag.
