It's a contributor. The first thing is I think everyone's agreed now that overfishing was the cause. We got to a certain state through overfishing. There are other factors. We've heard some of them--predators, environmental factors that are conspiring to inhibit recovery. Bycatch on many stocks has been a factor, as has illegal unreported fishing. So there are a number of factors.
Our point in terms of recovery is there's a suite of tools. We're only going to get to recovery if we set some goals, set some targets, and then work towards achieving those targets by putting in the right kinds of protection--limiting indirect mortality and direct sources of mortality such as bycatch and indirect mortality such as habitat loss, for example. We're only going to get there if we set specific goals for recovery. There has been no plan for recovery.
We know that a moratorium is a drastic measure, but it's not sufficient, because we've had moratoria and we still have nine straddling stocks that are still under moratoria and haven't recovered. It's not sufficient, so we have to do something else. The status quo isn't working. In fact, many of those stocks are continuing to decline. They haven't even held their own since the moratoria. That's a pretty sad state of affairs.
