I understand and share your frustration.
The organization I donate money to is the RFA.
Now more than ever, they need help. Money talks and the opponent (Environmental zealots on the MAMFC and ASMFC) are very well funded by organizations such as PEW and EDF.
I think we would of had a better outcome if the RFA had more money to throw around and buy politicians. Yes I said it, BUY politicians.
If the RFA were known as an organization that had a sizable war chest, politicians would be running towards the RFA. However, the simple fact of the matter is, they have less than 5,000 members and are operating on a shoestring operating budget. Politicians know that and the RFA is left chasing them.

This compromise was not masterminded by any fishing organization. The deal was struck by the NJ DEP to avoid being held out of compliance and the possibility of 2 fish @21" with a season of July and August.
