How old are you canal rat?? its simple math...People will lose thier jobs if menhaden catches are reduced. In the reduction fleets for example if the fishery is limited, less boats will go out. less fish coming in means less plants will be needed to process the fish. Right now the menhaden are regulated. Its just that the current regulations are wiping out all the menhaden in the mid atlantic.
That link you posted simply states that the ASMFC is going to look into tightening up regulations, and nothing about actually doing a thing to limit catches like you stated before. yes hopefully we will see bigger pogies around, but so far, the regs are staying just the same as years before.
