IMO this effort is a pee poor way to start conserving the resource. Commercial allocation in MA is what 1:29 of total catch. 1:4 of the MA landings. 1200 commercials, 650,000 recs. As written this bill is nothing more than an resource allocation grab. SF propoganda bs.

I was told there are more representatives supporting this "amendment". That this bill was something that many in office feel as a positive motion towards conservation. I am awaiting for some information from the ASFMC regarding what they will do if MA does decide to make striped bass a no take on the commercial side. What happens to the quota...
