OUR COMMENT ON THE WRECKFISH FISHERY IS ONLY THAT WHEN YOU IMPLEMENTED THE INFAMOUS INDIVIDUAL TRANSFERABLE QUOTA SYSTEM BACK IN 1992 ... EVERYONE SAID THAT YOU HAD DESTROYED THAT FISHERY ... AND IT HAS BEEN SO. EVERYONE ALSO SAID THAT IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE CATCH SHARE PROGRAMS ... AND THAT ONE PERSON BOUGHT UP ALL THE SHARES ... THUS THE FISHERY WAS DESTROYED ... WE THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE BAD ENOUGH ALONE! ALSO WE DO NOT WANT CATCH SHARES IN ANY OTHER FISHERY ... YOU HAVE DESTROYED ENOUGH ... AND YOU NEED TO GIVE SOME TIME ON EACH IMPLEMENTATION ... THEN REACCESS THE STOCKS BEFORE CONTINUING YOUR ONSLAUGHT!
