As a harvester, it's hard to be told when you can fish and when you can't fish, according to what the stock assessment is.
I'm going to go back to Ms. Canet's statement. When industry-based knowledge is being overlooked, but you're using ENGOs knowledge to help determine some of what the stock assessment should be, or should actually be harvested at, it's very disheartening because they do not have the same amount of time on the water, or for a lack of a better term, skin in the game.
The harvesters that are invested in this are not looking to abuse it to the bitter end. We want to make sure that it's sustainable and that it's fished as economically as possible. No, I don't really agree with them having too much input.
