New Cod Recovery Plan

I can't answer that. I'm just wondering why Cod came back so quickly in the past and now they aren't? I don't think it's climate change because Cod are scarce in Maine and the water temps there are lower than the lowest water temps Long Island ever had. When you see Fluke, Winter Flounder , Whiting, Cod all disappear within a 5 year period , like in the NY Bight, you know it's only overfishing and nothing else that caused the decline.

its overfishing in sound for lobsters too. fishing regulations only work if ecosystem is not broken problem is our managers have done a horrible job they think they can manage fishing with a pen computer and math problem
