Eben, Basic And the rest of you that talk nets this that... SIG HANSEN said it best in that video the data collected needs to be used and they NEED to talk to fishermen see what we see and then use it not collect let it sit in a box for 5 years.. By then its to late for the enviroment and every one else.. AS FAR AS THE NETS GO.... The net they use has a HORRID gore on it..( Gore: Were the top and bottom meshes of net come together) Which is proven in a test tank video.. If you have 108 meshes on bottom YOU HAVE TO HAVE 108 on to not 98... the gor on that net looks like this ^^^^^^^ not --------- reality whatch a video LEARN something see what we see here in RI FISHERIES and then talk or go back to the eco-freak calender selling mega non profit organazations that have taught you all what horrible people we are... But just remember the way this country is going your all damning your major protien suppliers FARMERS AND FISHERMAN....
And JAckk I am sorry but the yankee 86 boat her net is crap.. The tow when ever they get there you dont get fluke yellow tail or squid at night.. But the show up off the island and its drag a net now even if its dark.. the observers one of which will be on my boat this trip need to KNOW WHAT FISH IS WHAT I mean seriously come on now you report what fish come up and you dont know what is what????
