I agree that is something that is necessary, and inevitable otherwise we will have people fighting it out with guns on the seas. It looks like we might be shutting down a good part of the grouper fishery here on the gulf, and whoa nelly that is going to be a brouhaha. Here in Florida it took a constitutional amendment, but we finally got some control over the matter. I remember going out with my dad on a $10 head boat when I was a kid, and catching 8 kingfish of 15-25 pounds between us (we were poor then and ate kingfish every day for a long time). Then there was a period where you couldn't catch squat. No fish, no bait, nothing. Once we started regulating the inshore waters, it bounced back very quickly, not to where it was thirty years ago, but good enough.
