Another Federal screwing

Do you really expect NOAA/NMFS to let us keep fishing for the little members of an "endangered Species"?

Where is the problem? Are fish endangered or not? Are they overfished or not? If they are endangered or overfished, put some limits on it. How many times are we going to rearrange the deck chairs?

Research is starting to show an overlap between the Western Atlantic stock and the Mediterranean stock. Unfortunately, the overfishing over in Europe has an effect on us, so we all lose.

we conserve so other countries can rape and pillage. our gov kicks our fisherman in the crotch so other countries can catch and sell the fish back to us. is it me or is this dumb??
