Getting neighbors onboard with big buck mgmt

4. All the data shows that Gulf waters off the LA coast have tremendous numbers of red snapper (almost overpopulation) because LA waters have a much higher carrying capacity than Gulf waters adjacent to other states.

Link to this data please? Show us some 'scientific proof' and not 'viewpoints of some scientists' or a few spearfishermen

I never claimed "proof". "Proof" is a term I almost never use, except when quoting others who have claimed it or speaking of geometry proofs. I've never used the word "proof" in my published papers when discussing data.

Data can support, indicate, show, demonstrate aspects relative to assertions, hypotheses or theories, but not theory in science is every "proven."

I've linked much of the red snapper data before in threads discussing snapper more directly, and I'm not inclined to chase all the links down again in a deer thread. Use the search function.
