So, what are you protecting the bottom from? You know, this is a static closure. Oceans have currents; fish have tails. Basically, a baited hook.... You'd have to try real hard to stick that hook in your finger. You'd have to chew on it like a fish. So, why would you ban the most environmentally sensible fishing technology in the world from an area such as the Funk Island Deep, the Hawke Channel or St. Anns Bank?
