They can rope off all they want but they can't protect fishies from other fishies. Do these idiots realize how many fish exist in the oceans? It is an amazing renewable resource and no matter how many fish are taken by man the fish will come back. That doesn't mean there should not be management and restrictions at times
Absolutely untrue. Ever hear of jewfish (now called politically correct goliath grouper)? They were well on their way to extinction solely from overfishing until in 1994 they were declared protected and have slowly been making their numbers back up since then. even the seemingly endless numbers of menhaden have taken a hit recently primarily due to the demand for fish oil - a bogus dietary supplement similar to snake oil in its benefits for the human body. Commercial fishing needs curtailing from time to time, although doing it by imperial decree by emperor 0bama is the wrong way to go about it.
Commercial fishermens' income is directly dependent on how much they catch; they have no incentive to do anything but catch as many as they can before someone else does - as someone else mentioned it's called the tragedy of the commons
