Just two observations. 1) Ark bait will, probably, continue to take the same amount of pogies every year, they'll just change locations. So for the east coast biomass of menhaden there will be no change. 2) the lobstermen will fight this tooth and nail, since if it succeeds it will drive up the cost of bait. Lost of lobstermen out there and they have recently taken several hits, with pot limits, size increases and mandatory v-notching.
