Wasn't sure if everyone was aware:
"On October 7, NOAA Fisheries and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) determined that the 2011/2012 recreational annual catch limit of black sea bass had been reached. Using survey data which the National Research Council (NRC) in 2006 called “fatally flawed” and inadequate for making fishery management decisions, NMFS determined that the annual catch limit of 341,747 pounds of recreationally caught black sea bass has already been reached, resulting in a closure of the fishery in federal waters from Cape Hatteras Light in North Carolina to Key West, FL, effective October 17at 1 minute past midnight."
Another example of flawed data at work. Sickening!
