I would use the funds from a SW license scheme to compensate draggers to switch to other type gear and then have a limit on how close they can fish. Whether it should be 3, 5 or 6 miles I do not know. After the draggers are paid money goes into conservation and enforcement. I agree with Mike P on the 50% income requirement as a prerequisite for a com license. I would greatly restrict the commercial fishing for bunker and herring (but I do not know enough about the business to recommend how). One striper per day 30+ measured the old way from the fork of the tail, charter boats included. Uniform size limits for all states.
