Re: Wrong Article Fluke By-Catch
Did NOAA cover-up the by-catch figures to the public? Are the by-catch numbers of discarded fluke higher than they will admit? Is their claim of scientific data really accurate? Should the offshore scallop areas be put off limits during peak migration periods? What other fish were included in the by-catch totals? When we don't get all of the facts because information has been withheld intentionally or unintentionally, we have to be concerned. But, we've come to expect that kind of behavior from a government agency. I'm sure there is a commission being formed and an investigation being arranged. I don't expect anything to change for quite a few years until they get more scientific data.
