I may not know what I am talking about, this really is not my area of expertise, I just am a end user who has been fishing for some 50 years now, and from my perspective, fishery management is not and has not worked. I don't know all the jargon, the screwy government acronyms and the twisted logic that "they" have come up with to justify their regulations, but to me if a species is in "rebuilding" than the past fishing regulations that "they" came up with was detrimental to the population, and proves that they do not know what they are doing. The fact that most fish are in this or worse situation further underscores my point.
As far as scallops go, I have heard that the bottom is so destroyed from incessant dragging that marine life may never flourish again in some of those places.

I want to stop with all the BS and stop trying to please all the "user groups" and do what is the right thing, even if it means stopping all commerical fishing for the next decade...do whatever it takes to insure healthy oceans.

I think this is the Conservation Law Foundation's and Pew Trust's plan as well.

About time recreational fishermen start backing them.

Some of us do work with them when our perspective on the issues are compatable.
