Lake Erie underwent a similar process. I am curious if this will be the same, or is something related. This I expect will see a few parts to the cycle (good and bad). It is to a very limited degree including the result of "limited" fisheries management actions (slot) taken to date. Management is not rocket science....just common public supported, endorsed policies, process. This is still absent, with the exception of the still new Bay of Quinte Commision.
Harvest controls, gear restrictions (eg. barbless hooks, no gaffs, no gill nets, abolish all illegal and by product sales of wild fish stocks) amongst all sectors remains to me the most substantial factor that can make a difference. There is ample room to ensure support with an honest and open/inclusive approach.
