    MR. BULLARD , IN THE LAST TWENTY YEARS , N.O.A.A. AND IT’S MANAGEMENT COUNSELS HAVE DESTROYED 70% OF THE USA GROUND-FISH INDUSTRY AND THEIR FISHING FAMILIES WITH YOUR RULES & REGULATIONS !!

    GIVE USA FISHERMEN A CHANCE TO USE THEIR OCEAN KNOWLEDGE & EXPERTISE OF FISHING INTO USA FISHERIES MANAGEMENT, WHICH IS NOW BEING DESTROYED !
    AFTER ALL FISHERMEN ARE THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE PEOPLE OF OUR OCEANS !!

    GIVE FISHERMEN AND THEIR COMMUNITIES SAY IN ALL FISHING MATTERS IN THEIR AREA ? MR. BULLARD AS YOU SAY YOU CARE ABOUT FISH,FISHERMEN AND THEIR COMMUNITIES ? PROVE IT ??
