Careful w/ purse seining
 

As a tourist/fisherman I feel like my hard earned dollars are worth something when I come to the great state of BA to fish. Allowing the purse seiners to rake the bottom with deep nets and increasing by catch with reduce the target species I pay a lot to come fish for. Please consider the cascading effect of degrading the recreational fishery with the purse seiners coming in so shallow. Thank you for considering!!
