You people have sunk to an all time low level.How can you take the results of a few boats and extrapulate it into ridiculous numbers.How can NOAA declare an area NO JEOPARDY and you take a complete opposite opinion.I personally interviewed every boat captain that sells to me and the highest incident was two turtles in one year.Most of my guys have been on the water 30 years or better and are appalled by your findings.Economic times are very hard right now and you are taking Florida's oldest industry and sinking it.There are NGO groups out there that are not anti-fishing-is there not a way to work together for better results or are we going to get the NMFS ax as usual.
