What's to recommend? Until the stock assessment is done there is nothing to do? Once the stock assessment is complete and, assuming that no rebuilding is required, you just need to set coastwide bag limits at a level that will equal Fmax. If you want to insure continued viability you would set size limits that allow each fish to spawn at least once, but technically that is not a necessity. If rebuilding is necessary then you would have to set size limits that will allow fish to spawn before capture and set a F level somewhere below Fmax, how far below will depend on the FMP's rebuilding plan. No rocket science here.
