By longline discards, I assume you mean the allocation that for every one recreational fish caught, the longliners can legally kick one dead over the side?
That's F'ing logical fisheries management.
The only smart thing NMFS has done since they started F'ing up the world in 1976 was close the swordfish spawning grounds off Florida to longlining. And it actually worked.
Yet these Jacka$$es in Gloucester have been "managing" Bluefin since '76 and have never shut down the Bluefin Gulf breeding ground to longling in that entire time. Instead, they just made High-Grading legal.
F'ing Morons. (And Kevin, if your reading this, I still like you, I just really, really, really, Hate your boss).
