The bureaucrats at NOAA and NMFS are finally starting to feel the heat from our movement. They cannot keep burying their heads in the sand while they destroy our livelihoods with their bogus, inaccurate data. We are hitting our stride now and they have no choice but to pay attention to our fight.

I see what gets brought in every day at the docks. Whoever wrote that report needs to come out on a boat and see for themselves.
My husband has been fishing these waters forever. The stats they are using are totally wrong. Leave the boats alone!
These guys are just trying to feed their families. Stop making it impossible for people to work.
DONT BAN THE GEAR. It works fine for us. Fed up with these regulations that make zero sense.
Total government overreach. We know how to manage our own gear better than someone sitting in an office.

Ridiculous to shut down an entire industry based on bad info. Fix the data before you destroy the local economy.
