catch shares will violate all the seasonal spawning closures that the council told us were required to protect spawning aggregations

Using a government appointed position for
personal financial gain. That’s a textbook definition for “corruption”.

I’m ignorant when it comes to law in general but is this not akin to like insider trading or something along those lines? Sure seems shady to me…

Someone needs to let Trump know. He will can these people.

Whereas, this year, a WVUE-TV, New Orleans, investigative report into the Gulf of Mexico commercial red snapper fishery catch share program stated that just “fifty businesses and fishermen control eighty-one percent of the commercial red snapper allocation,” causing m
