Comment from JEAN PUBLIC

THERE HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN THE POPULATION OF SWORDFISH, NOT GROWTH. THE PROBLEM IS THE FISHING GROUPS LIKE ICCAT AND MAFMC AND OTHERS ALL ARE FULLY STAFFED BY THOSE WHO MAKE FINANCIAL ENRICHMENT FROM FISHING, AND THEY TAKE INFORMATION FROM COMMERCIAL FISH PROFITEERS, SO THAT THE INFORMATION THEY WORK WITH IS INACCURATE AND INCORRECT. TOTALLY. WE NEED TO GET AVERAGE AMERICANS ON THESE COUNCILS INSTEAD OF THOSE WHO ARE PROFITING FROM CATCHING FISH BECAUSE THEY AER WORKIGN IN THEIR OWN SELF INTERESTS. THEIR SELF INTEREST IS NOT AT ALL THE SELF INTEREST OF THE AMERICAN POPULATION, WHO THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING FOR. LOOK AT THE MESS THEY MADE IN THE GULF OF MAINE WITH COD. WE NEED A SEA CHANGE IN OUR AGENCY MEMBERS, WHO ARE ALL INSIDERS OR POLITICAL CRONIES. THEY ARE NOT WORKING FOR THE GOOD OF EITHER THE FISH OR THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.
