All bottom fishing prohibited.

[tsubaki]

I just never expected the fisheries management to come to this.
With the failure of all the regulations and education using circle hooks, barbless J hooks, proper handling and deflating requirements, besides the catch sizes, limits and seasons, seems there should have of been other alternatives (which escape my limited education) besides completely closing down an entire environment.

PETA, I'm sure is proud of the SAFMC.

Well, if all this pans out and succeeds, seems the next best thing would to rotate the closure area locations year to year. However they haven't yet announced this.


You guys not affected by this........
take a good look and remember.
Could be coming to your home port soon.
The precedent has been made.
