I blame the crack management team that spends more time patting themselves on the back for a job well done then really trying to fix the problems. I honestly think they have and are yeilding to the shouts from comms that "there fishy is restored...let us at them!" and don't want to restrict comms
If they were doing such a good job how come we have these problems? They HAVEN'T don't a good job (sb notwithstanding)
I don't blame the clam digger or the netter for taking thier limt...he is just maxing what he can do...my point is that they *should not* be allowed to do it!
Do you really think they should allow draggers in inshore waters where most fish spawn and grow...anyplace in the US? Does this make moral sence?
Lets take the cod issue...it was known for a LONG time that the stocks were being depleted year after year...but the measures taken for decades were so minor it was it did little to help. It is really a shame...that *was* an amazing fishery...probably will never be the same ever again.
Look at the forage fish issue...I really think this sums it up. greed. Take every last fish. The technology is there to do this but the laws are not there to stop it from happening....WHY NOT? I think because many of those that make the laws....have an interest (direct or indirect) in comm fishing and don't want to impose anything really restrictive unless they are forced to.
