Trying to solve all the issues at once is like trying to boil the ocean.
Makes sense but personally I don't believe public commentary will ever factor into the outcome of management decisions. It's a check the box protocol I believe is required and as seemingly with everything else always falls on deaf ears. There's driving forces behind all these decisions and recreational public commentary I'm afraid will never factor into those decisions. I know that's a defeatist attitude but it's more than backed by years of public commentary that's shamefully been completely ignored.
