The weakening of a law at the higher level doesn't necessarily override the benefits of local stewardship. I don't know a lot about the specific example you're giving me, but its existence doesn't preclude the fact that arguments were correct about the way that the wording was done in terms of serious harm and in terms of looking at fish that support a fishery. That would be my response to that.
