Commercial fishing contributes between $88 million and $100 million to the GSP....and that's direct sale of catch. That doesn't even include the incidentals I mentioned. There are over 7,000 full-time commercial fishermen in this state.
Let me state this once again, in different terms this time - the problem of overfishing is not going to be solved through adversarial confrontations, insults, and anger. If commercial and recreational fishermen do not respect each other's right to exist, there's no hope for any change, or recovery of stocks anytime soon.
Sorry that FACTS upset you
