You are a great asset to the community for going thru all of that legalese.. i still don't understand the complexities of this issue. But we all know that something needs to happen to curtail the diminishing populations. it somehow always gets back to the inherent conflict between revenue generation for the dept VS 'opportunity' for the takers...where opportunity was always sold out for the prospect of greater revenue. That is a conflict of interest that has to be eliminated before we can do justice to the the future of our shared waters..

we need to change how our defenders are financed before we can seriously protect any specie..
