The original Thread was about the Sanctuary update and while all opinions on commercial fishing are respected lets get back to the point of the OP (original poster).
Either you support the opposition of the Sanctuary and if so should be thankful of the efforts to stop it or you are FOR the Sanctuary and its your right to say so or not but would love to know your reasons.

The original thread was about restoring the winter flounder, fluke, sea trout, and crab that used to spawn every year in the Sanctuary and they are now gone.
Of course none of the "fishing" organizations will admit to letting stock go extinct but that is what has happened in the last 20 years.
Remember Leroy's? "We Smoke Anything". That used to be whiting that were available by the sack full for years. But under the watch of our wonderful regulators, they are gone and so is Leroy's.
So dont cry about fish houses going out of business if we try to do something about draggers. It is already happening and local restaurants are having to serve pollack and cod and haddock imported from distant waters.
