You may be right Striper... But it's not like they are going to take the money and put it in a mattress or go out to dinner... It will go to fund the activities of managing the fishery.... Scientists, staff, enforcement.
Each of these government agencies fight for more money and more staff every year... They never try to do more with less because they know they will get a lesser budget next year. I'm sure you've heard the stories of these agencies going out on a buying spree or filling unfilled positions at the end of the year for that reason... Spend it or loose it and you don't get it next year.
In fairness this happens in the private sector as well since bureaucracies exists in large bloated companies too.
The bigger you get the more bureaucracy there is, government or private sector.
