Going higher up in NOAA won't help unless it involves a lawsuit as NOAA, NMFS and the Department of Commerce are the agencies directly or indirectly putting these ridiculous regulations in place.

Anyone every hear of the Boston Tea Party?
If we have the right Governor in place who would support going out of compliance and now we have a seemingly more fishermen federal level people in place this might be the right time to. Just like Fluke back in the day, once it got escalated to a federal level, underlings were told to " figure it out" before we were actually out of compliance.
