IMO this entire mess is a result of Mismanagement by DFO and their manage to Zero mandate along with several governments past and present that continue to fail the fishery. Year after year. East coast and West.
This along with the Kill nets and unregulated fishing by a special group ........ or those that dont care about their or the fishes future and use the courts to avoid accountability.
Way to go DFO.

Just remember........ this slide occued last Fall. DFO did NOTHING until June. Hasnt that worked well.
