I think the point that you are missing is that the rules of the game changed just four short years ago with the MSA reauthorization. In that short period of time Haddock, Scup, sea bass and fluke populations have reached the MSY level . Pollack is close to MSY. Sure some species are still no rebuilt from their historical abuse, but the point is that, for a change, fishery management is working. You can't lay off fishermen for years at a time to rebuild the stocks anymore than you can lay off any other workers for a long time. People will be forced to take other jobs, the piers will be turned in condos and all the other businesses that depend on the fishery will fold, never to be replaced. Waterfront infrastructure is a key dependency of all fisheries and if it gets converted to other uses it isn't coming back.What's "right" for the fish may not be the "right" thing for the country or the region.
