Obviously, commercial and sportfishing concerns are up in arms and complaing that this is going to put many of them out of business."
Perhaps the fishermen should contact the ACLU for assistance because it seems that their right to make a living is going to be violated. Although the closure will be helpful for fish populations it won't be very helpful for the fishermen trying to make a living.
