Andy I think you're looking at this from a short term perspective. What did the party and charter boats do in the 70's and 80's when the fishery collapsed? They can still catch larger fish and release them, catch a few smaller fish and retain them so short term it should work. Long term the fishery should flourish as should their businesses. What would the alternative be, stay on the path we're on until the fishery is closed? Wouldn't you agree that would be more devastating than this alternative?
