You made several blanket statements which have no background and show your lack of understanding of the situation all together. If it baffles you, what is your reason for having such a strong opinion?

By opening up a larger area for them, it would give time for some of the oft worked areas to replenish.
Kill 'em all? No, that wasn't where I was headed. I don't think they should increase catch, nor do I think it would be allowed, but if these waters haven't been touched before I'm sure it would be a good reprieve from the heavier worked areas.

As far as catch sizes diminishing, that is overfishing with probably alot of waste, like the way of the totuava.

As far as lack of understanding? Ya, you are right about that, so should we just ante up the dollars for research, which will take years?

They weren't initially banned from the waters, read the article. The hostile environment, and ice, prevented them. But to just impose a ban based on the need to study an area first, basically the same waters and environment, on the advice of advocacy groups, to me is absurd.
