Imagine if they actually made an effort on the black fish front instead of taking the "easy way out"

they wont..they need more officer's boats trucks ..no money in the budget for that...or would you support a 1.50 a gallon gas tax ?
not to rain on anyone..But DEC office I spoke with said they would make all reef's in state waters MPA zones ...

I dont fish them but many people do... hard pill to swallow .

Shut Down commercial fishing for the next 20 years. American waters should be a safe haven for fish. Chinese immigrants have the attitude that they have to get it now/ consume it now or it won't be there tommorrow. The Chinese famine conditioned them to think that way.

even dogfish ?

Protect Everything. Dogfish are only a problem when other species are in short supply.They were here long before man. Look at Cod, Cod have been under constant pressure since the 1960's and briefly made a comeback in the late 1970's /early 1980's and that was it. The ocean needs a rest. America should set a good example.
