Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.

I think that the amount of money that will be skimmed off the top for administrative cost, etc. should be addressed immediately and the primary stakeholders, ( Fishermen and related business that can prove a valid hardship) be given a loud voice in the distribution of any and all funding. We all know how this game is played with “grant grabbing and administrative scamsters” The initial 75 million will have some serious “shrinkage” if it is not kept until tight control.
