Very simple:

The current data is against us right now in terms of fisheries data. We need better data, better data takes money. We need money to pay for this. Everyone won't write a check for $1000, we need RSA. That simple.


Data bad=need to fix=need better science=need more $=RSA helps.

We're only shooting ourselves in the foot here. You think the government only exists to conspire against you, go to another country and find a new government. If not, try to work with them to get the $ for reaserch that we so desperately need.
