Bluefin tuna closure 8/12/25

[Broad Bill]

Lawsuit against the federal government, only thing that will change this insanity. And as mentioned before, it should be funded by all the fishing tackle retailers / manufacturers, gas spend and boat manufacturers that the recreational sector spends hundreds of millions of dollars on every year.

We're way past petitions and public comments. The question we should be asking is how do you change the behavior of the Department of Commerce? Therein lies the answer to how you change the inequity in regulations between the commercial and recreational sectors as well as the overall mismanagement of various fisheries. Come up with an answer to that question and the recreational angling community and various stocks stand a fighting chance.
