Lastly, a huge organization like NOAA with an annual budget of $5.6 billion with $921 million going to the NFMS, you naturally want to protect it and you have to justify your existence. If you're paying them to manage the fisheries, what do you think they're going to do?? They are going to over manage it and be reluctant to invite outsiders into their sandbox. We outsiders typically only get to comment once they've decided what the quotas are and what we want our season, sizes and bag limits to be to achieve their predetermined quotas.
Let me be careful to say this is not a dig on the people in the NFMS, it's a dig on the system they are forced to work within.[/QUOTE]
And that sir is called "Job Security" which is a big part of the problem.
