The squid situation is not that good that they should be pounding them to death. I know they only live a short while ( a 18mo or so) but let them spawn before you rape the resource. Keep them off the 3 mile limit for gods sake, they will be dragging the harbors! I hope you comm R&R'ers see the greed here. Bunker boats, squid boats...taking every last bait if possible.

This month in National Geographic there is a cover story about saving the fish world wide and look at the impact of comm fishing on a number of species. After reading that, and seeing the damaged done to the cod in the Grand Banks and tuna in the med...I have little hope.
Commerical tuna fishing today is taking more then 4X the sustainable rate in the med. They believe they took so many tuna out of the sea last year that the fishery can't recover.
There are more then 2X the number of comm fishing boats world wide required to fish the sustainable limits.
It looks really bad. They will be taking every last fish, no question.
Funny, they didn't mention the rec fishing as a problem...hmmmm.
