The proposed changes for bycatch reduction devices in the shrimping industry is bull shit. The shriming industry boat count went from 7,000 to about 1,000 or so since the 1980. When the shrimping industry has decreased by 75% it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what happens to bycatch reduction (there is less bycatch) the national marine fisheries which is controlled by the yatch clubs knows all this information. The national marine fisheries are the new pirates of the gulf; they do whatever the yacht clubs tell them. The farming industry all across the United States has been subsidized for over 50 years. Our organization the national marine fisheries choose not to help, why don't you pay us not to shrimp. The new national marine fisheries yacht club service is happy to see this happen to the shrimping industry. I know when the council meet they are happy to see this. I know now why shrimp license won't be issued until an economic condition report is filled out. Why don't the national marine fisheries ask congress to help the shrimping industry? If you need someone to talk to congress and tell them what you are no telling them let me help.
