I wonder if he is also aware that fishing licenses provide much of the F&G funding and if there is no place for us to fish, there will be no need to for many of us buy a license? How do they plan to replace that revenue?

Similarly, I wonder if he recognizes that the MLPA closures could result in a huge loss in sales tax revenue from the businesses that make a living off of coastal fishing.

It seems to me that since the folks running this circus appear to be ignoring the science and relying on incomplete or outdated data we cannot hope for a reasonable result on that front. Maybe it is time to open a new battle front that is all about the probable lack of funding funding and potential lost tax revenue.
