...and......the well respected Marine Explorer.....Jacques Cousteau was not a big fan of recreational sport fishing....his views on food fish(i.e. striped bass) is a necessary supplier of needed protein......with a sucessful and sustainable fish management program-which is in place under the auspices of ASMFC......and..what is on the horizon is not good news for all involved in the multiple use striped bass resource........MPAs and other fishing restricted zones for the Atlantic coast...possible closures of major onshore, near shore. and offshore areas that are currently being utilized by both recreational and commercial fishing interests....not to mention enviro/animal rights groups waiting in the wings to pull the plug on all uses...............
