I leave that expertise to them.

We can't allow or force "wanton waste", and I understand that any bait on a hook and line will catch just about anything swimming by. <br /><br />Maybe longliners must have to apply any tuna toward their yearly catch limits, and when one limit is reached, season over. <br /><br />This may force different strategies in their fishing efforts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-54860698093999367282013-08-24T16:17:14.728-04:002013-08-24T16:17:14.728-04:00I guess those commercial fisherman are just going ...I guess those commercial fisherman are just going to "accidentally" catch more.

The actual proposal is an attempt to allow commercial fisherman to keep accidental by-catch Bluefin Tuna that under present regulations if caught on longline gear have to be thrown overboard dead and wasted. This category of fisherman has been often maligned and environmentalist using false information have tried, in some areas such as Florida, to legislate them out of existence. There are several boats that fish this category right out of Ocean City providing jobs and tax dollars for the state of Maryland. Please if you read this article or the proposal don't make judgement on these fisherman without first asking for the other side of the story!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16212483867456126127noreply@blogger.com
