their job is to save fisheries, not the economy nor fishing industry.
due to straight greed of take take take , many fisheries have suffered.
Problem is so many are used to the OLD ways of take take take.
The more fish around to catch , the longer the industry will last.
at least if there are fish to catch and release , and take a few home guys will fish.
make the fishery crash , no one will be paying to fish like has happened in the past.
Just look at how long we have not had a winter flounder fishery.
when they are crushed it takes a LONG time for them to recover.
all the years of no limits did that, when guys filled garbage cans daily with fish .
if a limit had been imposed sooner the fish we started off with each spring would still have a sustainable fishery.
and it wouldnt be limited to 2 fish.
.
while NMFS seems to come up with really bad numbers on many of the fisheries, limits to stay on the safe side are def better than reckless abandon
