Ecosystem-based management is definitely the way to go. There is a bill now to ditch the menhaden reduction industry. I don't know if it has to go quite this far, but agree that the forage base needs protection in order to secure the future of the gamefish.

My point is that with decent management of the whole system would not require "Gamefish" status... Of course management and fisheries do not always play well in the same sentence
