They were thinking that there were too many small Snapper, not enough big mature females.
Come to find out, they were not going out checking on things, they were just sitting at the docks and assessing the stocks by what was brought in to the docks.
Well, they later found out that the market only wants the smaller Snapper, not the big mature breeding females.
So, their past 10 years of Snapper research is a scratch, cause of their bad way of doing research. Sit on the dock, instead of going out and and seeing whats out there and doing your job the right way.

This law was the biggest buttfart in WL&f history of dumbness..

You can come to anyone of my platforms and catch snapper all day...and do you know how many platforms they have in snapper grounds.....and how many boats did I see fishing a year at them


Let's see...maybe 8 all year

They also don't count any of the fish on artificial reefs....only natural habitat. So wander what that does to skew the data even more.
