Was going to say something similar...a lot of the new generation is much more accepting of conservation in principal...we've grown up with it.
To be honest I look at the notion that anyone has the right to take fish, especially from a comercial perspective as quite absurd. I grew up in the midwest and watched the collapse of the "family farm" back home...it's not any different.
