......since commercial discards and Rec/charter dead release are part of the mix...I'll create a non-profit org/business that gathers the dead stripers from both user groups....process and distribute the filets to soup kitchens, food banks, state institutions, etc.........hey give me a hefty administrative salary, expense account, and let us begin to utilize this resource
What is rec/charter dead release? If I kill it, I eat it! But the theory sounds great. All the overcatch/bycatch landed should be donated to feed the hungry AND applied to the respective quota. Think if they HAD to donate it, overcatch/bycatch/discard would be far less than what it is now!!!
