Simple. Two major problems of which can be controlled that have lead to the demise are harvest by recs and chartesr. 1@28 for recs was in every way the least that could be done, but a teeny step. The conservation equivalency is complete bs and does nothing to reduce the impact by charters, which is why they asked for it. Result- continued decline of a fishery that is already worse than the regulators will acknowledge. That should be enough to fire up anyone who actually cares.
