Keep me honest here guys, but the Magnuson Laws requires by law fisheries to be shut down if they are deemed in trouble. We recreational guys have been arguing that there needs to be some "flexibility" in this law because the science behind assessing the fish stocks is flawed and they fail to take into account the economic impacts of shutting down an entire fishery.
