If the stocks are declared 102% of the rebuilding target and over fishining is not occurring how are commercial fisherman having a negative effect on the stocks?
How about this..... The stocks are healthy , matter a fact they are about the healthiest they have been in most of our life times. The angler success rate is so good due to the abundance of fish that quotas are achieved or exceeds with the current size , season and bag limits. Now to change the current status of the seabass fishery thier are a number of options. Some can be supported by facts others by opinions , but they could help all anglers have access to this healthy fishing. This is a partial list.... Declare the biomass at twice it's current size, declare angler participation at half it's current levels, challenge MFSS and angler success rates, double quotas and challenge they will not have a negitive impact on the stocks .... These are just a few options to help anglers regain year round access. The bottom line is pointing fingers at another angling group fishing under a quota is about as wrong as one could be. But then again trueth and the Internet
do not have much in common. Bonjour as I am a French Model.
