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.
