No - they are not overfished !! They are OVER REGULATED !!
NOAA Fisheries determines the season , species , size harvested , etc. . Even the location of where you can fish .
They opened offshore Grouper fishing in Florida during the heart of the “Hurricane Season” .
They arbitrarily and capriciously closed the “red snapper” in the Mid and South Atlantic .. without ever having conducted a study !! (Admitted to it last year in a Congressional hearing on the Stevens-Magneson Act - available on U-tube )
Its such a layup from Farmers, fisherman,ObamaCare and death tax so their buddies like Buffett clean the carcasses after the Government kills them.
