The FGC is being controlled by anti fishing and hunting concerns. The creation of MPA’s was lacking verified science making it impossible to verify any real change. To think that I as a recreational fisherman would willingly destroy the resource I love is ridiculous. The resource belongs to the people, all of them, not just the “enlightened” few. It should be managed with sound science. There are far better ways to accomplish this goal other than simply shutting something down. Let the experts, not the emotional, manage the resource. Only then can everyone benefit. Fishermen should be partners in this, not alienated. Just look at what has been done for the White Seabass, and without the help of these elitists I might add!
Amen. You nailed it
