This is all done o/b/o commercial fishermen. They get to monopolize snapper fishery, until they frick that up too, like they do every other fishery. Then they'll move on to destroy the next resource.
You really are clueless when it comes to commercial fisherman and their so called monopoly.
And to the other poster that said Commercial fisherman have strong lobbying organizations.
This has everything to do with a bureaucratic
government regulating everything under the sun. Most of these people setting these regulations aren't even in touch with what they are regulating.

Right, we should just let the commercials regulate themselves. Get the government out of everything and just let them do what they want. They did such a good job with cod and other groundfish in the NE, redfish during the Prudhomme inspired craze, and a bazillion other fisheries. They have proven time and time again that they will harvest the last of any species to make a buck. So you can bitch about bureaucracy, but the gubmint is the only entity out there with the ability to protect the resource.
They don't need a lobby, just people placed on the right boards to carry water for them.
weren't you the guy shilling for restaurants and commercials a while back?

Jason, I usually respect your opinion on most things, but when you suggest that the commercial fishing lobby doesn't outspend and outmaneuver the recreational lobbyists on the regular, you're pulling someone's leg.
There are also well documented, public statements made by commercial fishermen in New England stating that they would pull their trawls until the very last ground fish was removed from their fishing areas, sustainability be damned. And it pretty much worked that way. And pretty much got there with swordfish, and with bluefin tuna.
