Especially for those of us involved in trawl fisheries who don't want anything to do with discards or working around a system that is gamed. I guess when it's rationalized we will all be content to watch the quota holders fish while we sit on the beach. Fix the gaming and you will eliminate the problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248187375964492769.post-43398895387246519102012-12-10T21:43:37.110-08:002012-12-10T21:43:37.110-08:00Nothing has changed, except that there is a hell o...Nothing has changed, except that there is a hell of a lot more involved than gaming. We are talking about a sustainable ocean that will support coastal residents for generations to come. Targets are good, but being short sighted is just that.

All trawl vessels in Kodak use some form of gaming while sole and arrow tooth fishing. They would get shut down if they didn't. Do you anticipate observer gaming worsening or improving?
