Default Open ended fisheries (fish stocks)...

Don't know if any of you have been involved in the debate about the
replenishing the fish stocks and the ridiculous stance the RFA
(Recreational Fishing Alliance) has taken with their "Open Ended (some
call it Moving Target) Rebuilding" proposal.

Almost none of the national groups and about 80% of the state oriented
groups have opposed the RFA on this, but they've got some political
horsepower and when they start throwing PAC money around, its going to
get some attention.

Here's some views from both sides of the issue.
