I respect everyone’s right to be proponents of conservation. However the commercial take of the resource far exceeds what divers take and the incidental kill is significantly greater. I expect that a single lobster trap will catch more bugs a season than the majority of divers. I support preserves for the fact that they will also keep out the commercial interests. Proponents of conservation not willing to give up ALL seafood are hypocrites.
