Who cares about how the fisherman will make their living. Tough luck for them! They will just have to find a new job that doesn't destroy the eco-system. Let them turn they old fishing boat into a dive boat. Like the article said, they will be out of a job either way once the rockfish are gone. Its better to save the rockfish now and force a few fisherman to take a new career path, right? Its about time the government starts taking more drastic action to support better fisheries management. As divers we should support this kind of action.
