In Reply to: Since we are discussing reserves - How effective.... posted by finfan on October 30, 2002 at 17:07:38:
here's a thought. what if we close all areas within 1-3 miles off shore from fishing (commmercial or otherwise) for say 3-5 years. then slowly reopen some areas for fishing again but with smaller limits and shorter seasons. also does anyone know how effective the reserves have been in other countries when there is enforcement?
