DD,
A traget is just that, a target or a goal. Hopefully by trying to achive the target, we will stay below the "threshold" which is a much more important measure because crossing it means that we are indeed overfishing. Note that the chart indicated that we have approached the threshold but it has not been exceeded.
The cool thing is that if we do exceed it, there are very strict managment procedures in place to get stripers back on track.
See attached slide.
As for my agenda(?), my personal comments here are motivated in a sincere interest to inform and learn. Then again, that is the peril of using my full name in posts and not using an alias.
I'm sorry, did you mention what your name is or what you agenda is (if any).
Peace,
Mike
