So the way I read it is, if you have a boat permit you can take 15 fish a day, period. If you are a shore fisherman you can take 2 fish a day.
It doesn't matter how many permit holder are on a boat. The permit is, effectively, with the boat and so 1, 15 fish limit per boat per day.
I think that this will mitigate the commercial take to a degree as I am sure that last year there were many boats with 2 permit holders on board taking in 30 fish.
