I like ths part

Petroleum Platform Removal

The Council also directed staff to develop a letter to the Secretary of the Interior objecting to the removal of petroleum platforms with the use of explosives. Before
sending the letter to the Secretary, a draft will be presented to the Council for review
and approval during its June meeting.

No doubt. Action three really fired me up. Look at the percentage Louisiana is going to get.

The Council sucks. How are you going to allocate LA 14% when we have all the stinking rigs? At some of these you cannot get past the dang snapper to catch anything else.

More governmental restrictions on liberty are seldom an effective path to less governmental restrictions on liberty.

Getting the feds out of gulf fisheries seems to require a more direct path.

Dividing the recreational and commercial interests has served the feds well in their expansion of governmental powers where ultimately both the commercial fisheries and recreational fisheries lose big time.

Wisdom suggests all parties focus on making a bigger pie rather than focusing on who gets a bigger piece of the existing pie. Experience shows that federal management does a tremendous disservice to red snapper management (and many other things). In contrast, several Gulf states have done an excellent job at managing their fisheries and can likely be trusted to continue if their management authority is broadened to completely encompass reef fishes within their waters.

I tend to agree. Apportionment of harvest should be consistent with the best available estimates of production rather than coastline or desire among anglers.
