Pianoman, that's my point, why allow any fishing there if they are worried about catcing the endangered ones, that is where most live?I don't think the line is new, it is the same 30 fathom line they have had for years. What species of suspended rockfish exactly are they targeting in these depths? Even black rockfish tend toward the bottom and areas with structure. Another question, why is it OK to shut off all rockfish in the Sound to protect these same fish that they allow to be incidentally killed off the coast? Answer again, money! There are no cattle boats that I know of that targeted rockfish in the Sound so their lobby would not care about it being shut down in the Sound where most of us, that just want to feed some fish to our families, have access.
The open area is ALL of Areas 1 and 2 outside the 30 fathom line.The closure area is relatively small, and right outside of Westport. (relative to the open area)
