I spent a year and a half of my life creating a video (Gladiator of the Deep/Death of a Resource) that showed how destructive longlining and ocean drift gillnetting was to swordfish, sharks, turtles and sea birds. The RFA was instrumental in getting the current time and territory closures in Florida that has been responsible for much of the swordfish comeback...I have NO use for either non-selective method of fishing.
