I'm sure getting more of our political leaders involved will help.

Instead of managing fisheries in the best interest of getting a maximum yield over the long haul, they are trying to save jobs in a way that just can not happen. There are too many commercial fisherman for the amount of available fish. At least for any of them to make a good living. Puts people in a position that causes them to do things that a responsible fisherman would never do.

Why would recreational fishermen, or anyone who has had to buy seafood from stores at prices grossly inflated by overfishing over the last two decades, benefit from Mr Patrick's or Mr Frank's pressure to allow continued resource depletion?

supply and demand. More fish- lower prices. less fish- higher prices.

that being said, its not premeditated... its just the way it is.

I wish I was, but sadly I am not.

Low supply is inflating prices, and excess fishing effort is the primary cause of low supply.

Irresponsible fishery management may help keep some fishermen in business, but it also costs the general public hundreds of millions of dollars in excess food costs (and the jobs those dollars would generate) each year.

Patrick and Frank receive substantial contributions from the commercial fishing industry. They realize the average citizen in the state, like yourself, is clueless as to how overfishing is costing each of us money, so they gleefully advocate for the commercial interest's priority at the cost to the rest of us (but at benefit to their own political future). Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Nobody gives a damn about fish as long as they can go to the market and buy it.
