Ya.....those fishermen and boat owners also happen to be voters,taxpayers and citizens.........so the question I put to you johhny boy is do we manage the fish stocks for the good of the people and the commonwealth or just for the health of the fish stocks unto it's self?
Limits shouldn't be based on the price of fuel and whether those limits allow for high enough margins when the fish are brought to market.
I believe the guess was that the MPA would create a no intrusion zone in the " HOPE " ( where have we heard that before ), that the overflow would replenish nearby areas to be fished.

I'm not talking about bringing anything to market but rather referring to rec. folk( that's families) catching enough fish for the freezer to offset the cost of running There boat........
