I agree with your statement above but that is how it works. As others have pointed out on this forum many of the decisions are political and not biological. The classic example is the ban on spearfishing in the upper Keys within a mile of US 1. This was all because a few spearfishermen pissed off the wrong people. It is not a good way to manage fisheries but that is how it is done. |

Live rock harvest is another example. Collectors insisted on going to the rubble piles right at the mooring sites at Sombrero Key even though we warned them that they should go to any of the numerous remote sites. The result? Dive operators started raising hell and bit by bit wild live rock harvest was eliminated by order of the governor through the then MFC. In both cases "You can't fix stupid". |

Re: FWC considering Banning Spearfishing in State and Federal
Yup ..... the system has its corrupt aspects. That's why we must continue the battle to retain spearfishing rights and not let the corruption prevail. All we can do is try our best. Thanks for these confirmation posts of what many of us suspected.
The mainstream media loves a good regulatory corruption story, so let's hope the probes begin in earnest and in time. Seeking all the emails and other correspondence subject to sunshine state disclosure laws should be their first step. Quote:
