- Same question above except for who's responsible for making sure the device is used and is it mandatory to use on every fish and any species that's released or only the ones showing signs of decompression?
- Who makes the final decision to implement this? Some committee in the sky who can make a unilateral decision or will this be discussed and decided by the public in a state or region.

It’s already written into law in other states .
Every boat is required to have and use it to release every fish not kept caught from waters deep enough for compression .
Marine fisheries should be mandating their use to protect the fisheries .
A venting tool is 10-25 bucks
The investment isn’t in the tool , it’s in actually using it
