We all complain about taxes and regulation changes in any business...NMFS is too blame for allowing the raping of most species not the fisherman himself.

NMFS is just bowing to the pressure put on them by fisherman. NMFS may to guity of not doing their job but it is being caused by fisherman. What is this big fisherman march RFA and other groups are doing down in Washington all about. It's to put pressure on ASMFC and NMFS, not in the interest of fish, but to protect jobs by slowing down recovery time lines. Fisherman are the number one group to blame and then comes ASMFC and NMFS for bending to fisherman pressure.
