What part of this do you not understand? MSA is the law governing all of it! You certainly don't believe the Council just arbitrarily sets fishing quota, do you? By the way, notice the date. Its today, received in my email as one of the hundreds I get from NMFS, NOAA regarding fishery's on a monthly basis. I didn't have to google it. MSA needs work, no doubt, but it is the law. Its up for re authorization, and the enviro's including EDF think its just perfect as it is. Best of luck to you. Over 'n out!
