Hmmmm... McCain was on this ship and the Forest fire, er, Forrestal. Maybe it's him? *kidding*
Every bit of fish caught (within the legal limits) there will end up on someone's plate, no matter who it was that caught it. At today's prices, nobody throws away or wastes a red snapper or a grouper.
They put her in a good place for fishing. She's surrounded by a virtual "underwater desert" with no features on the bottom to hold fish. There is a huge "housing shortage" for fish in the Gulf. The little ones need a place to hide and the bigger ones need a place to hunt for the little ones.
When you catch a fish from one of these reefs (artificial or otherwise) his 'apartment' becomes available and the next tenant moves in. It's the closest thing to a true "win-win" situation I've ever seen.
