Oh lord, it's the Dalzell broken record again. His reasoning is like that of the abusive parent who celebrates their kindness through a brief cessation of the beatings. He neglects to mention the crustacean fishery in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands that was fished into a zero limit prior to the creation of the Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve, or the large fishing vessel that ran aground on once pristine Rose Atoll driving the need for a large vessel exclusion zone and nearly killing the amazing reef. Or how about the long liners in the NWHI that spray painted seabirds and beat monk seals with clubs thus driving the need for the creation of the monk seal exclusion zone? I won't even get into the untold number of lawsuits that forced the Council to act on everything from sea turtle protection and gear modification to vessel monitoring systems. Yes, pardon this infomercial interruption, the beatings will commence shortly.
