[Broad Bill]

I think everyone agrees giving up is not an option. The question is what does that mean? Reality is this is a big business controlled by the Secretary of Commerce, a handful of very powerful institutions and the commercial industry with their lobbyists and attorneys. So while I agree with your sentimental post, how does a completely fragmented recreational sector with mutually exclusive agendas, limited to no funding and miniscule lobbying efforts get a seat at the table when it comes to management regulations and completely unbalanced allocations of the resources under their management and control.

That's the million dollar question I don't think anyone has an answer for until the recreational sector as a whole organizes the way the commercial sector has which is light years away at best.
