Part of their problem is not with the closures but the allocations that give commercial fisherman the lions share of what is allowed to be taken.
I personally believe that the reserves will do little unless comercial fishing greatly reduced, and perhaps sport fishing allocations reduced a bit as well.
However since the lions share of fish goes to the commercial sector.
