What are the "critical issues" Don???
 
I can't explain them at this time because I'm waiting for clearence from Rich or ABTA But i would guess it may have something to do with this. . Amendment 13 to the Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan (FMP) .
This is a new amendment, and the regulatory process has not yet begun. The process will
begin at the Spring 2019 AP meeting in which we are expected to receive a scoping
document. Normally, regulatory amendments require two years to final rule. This
amendment is expected to take a bit longer (2021?)

If you look that up you will see a lot of proposed changes in our fisheries. (Tuna) Some ok some Not all good
 
Ha Ha yeah i got that notice George. But in my mind i can't come up with a "Brief Explanation of Why You Should Be on “Wicked Tuna.”* :giggle:

I'm just not that dramatic. :)
