Because like Mike said it is managed to MSY. States could alter how they manage their portion of the yield via 1@36 recreationally but odds are under the current plan if they do that recreationally they will add to commercial quota. Resulting in a net zero fish saved for future.
It is pretty telling though that in MA they re opened the fishery twice and did not fill the quota when in recent years they have always exceeded the quota.
