This makes me feel a little better, and I hope the fishers will find out about it.
Several files are on your desk right now, including the North Atlantic right whale file. The file has a scientific component, but it also reflects a strong desire to preserve the North Atlantic right whale. Everyone agrees and no one doubts that.
However, should we focus more on a more dynamic management of the species rather than always making fishers pay? There has to be a balance between the product of fishing, the exercise of fishing, and the protection of endangered species. Do you think more money should be invested in a more dynamic management of the North Atlantic right whale?
