Re: Fishery Management
A probable scenario playing out in front of our eyes is...the fluke are fine, but they're just leaving.
Conspiracy theories are entertaining to read, and it's in our nature to point fingers and find someone to blame. But if in 10 years what happened to NC happens to us, ie fluke keeps migrating north, the humans to blame would probably sit on the board of Exxon-Mobile.
More to the point: Since fluke trend northwards as they age to begin with, and if the entire range is shifting north due to climate change...the fight in the immediate future is to relax size limits for NJ. I'm okay with that as long as the science (not "economic impact") bears it out.
