Ah, a consultant's report...

Consultant - A person who will steal your watch to tell you what time it is!!

The only thing uttered by a consultant to me in my prior life that was worth repeating was, "Technology transfer is a contact sport."

I got through 30 pages, but after that I gave up. It's NY's problem, not mine. However that $15K minimum income caveat to keep a license active is truly a killer, effectively eliminating the possibility for using fishing to supplement one's income. Truly sad...

I knew someone would read it I don't like the 15k either. They have to pay for the mismanagement of our fisheries by the very people now requiring them to catch more fish.
