Good news anyway.

pockets of no fish at your local does not mea it is a representation of the entire coast either.
Local accounts are helpful but tell us little depending on scale is the important part. |

Remember, it works both ways. Fantastic fishing in a few locations in no way, shape, or form is indicative of the stock's health. Distribution of a species, both across age range and geographic area is a far better indication of what is going on than a mess of 30 lb bass off race point or 60 lb bass off RI. |

Wrong. You are confusing data and science. There is plenty of good data on SB, but when that data is selectively used to support an agenda it does not qualify as "good science". I have been told by a professor emeritus at WHOI that during a meeting with several senior NOAA scientists 2 years ago they reluctantly admitted their population estimate is alarmingly soft and could be off by as much as 50%. If that is the case then the stock is being dangerously overfished.
Keep in mind also that "good science" does not translate into "good fishery policy". Take a look at NE ground fish management and that is immediately apparent. The same process is at work in the ASMFC and it smells the same. |
