We have a response from the council. CaptBengal
Hi!
I'm an oceanographer that works in fisheries. Let's talk.
quote:
Let me give you background red snapper are admittedly not in trouble and everyone but NOAA claims they are more snapper now than anytime in history
this is simply false. Or are you going by people's fishing? Im going by models on population structure based on fisheries catches, environment, and survivorship.
quote:
Due to decline in shrimping which caused about 90% plus of them to be killed, millions in reef building, and decimated of predators like sharks
Shrimping is awful. It should be banned imho. However, these claims on why there would be more snapper now are false. We can go into more detail on each one if you like...
quote:
eliminating from fisherman costing billions of dollars and eliminating thousands of jobs.
You do realize they are trying to protect the industry for future years, right?
quote:
hey will divide the non-commercial sector into two parts one for recreational and the other for charter boats that hold a federal reef permit. (They quit issuing them in 2004 I believe. So if you don't have one you never will) then
This is the plan for all federally manged fisheries.
quote:
They will cancel recreational season for all non compliant states. (Everyone)
No they wont.
quote:
Magnuson Stevens Fisheries sustainability act.
Says nothing about eliminating recreational fisheries.
quote:
then they will move to eliminate recreational fishing in federal waters for Amberjack next, then other reef fisheries then to the pelagic fish like king mackerel tuna and cobia. Within 5 to 10 years there will be no or very limited fishing in federal waters.
They arent trying to "ban" anything. There are thousands of scientists tht fish, just like you and love it! It's the reason most of us got involved with the work in the first place. We have an ever increasing population with an ever increasing demand for protein. Most of that comes from the sea for the global population. At current rates we wont have fisheries capable of sustaining demand in 10 years.
Nobody is out to take away your fishing, we want to make sure your grandkids can go fishing too.
