You guessed it the commercial fisherman whom she has already partnered with prior to taking the Reigns at the NOAA. The PEW trust has essentially recommended putting commercial fisherman in charge of fisheries management and making the decisions for the rest of the public based upon their interpretation of the stocks. Further more she is also entrusting them through the PEW proposal to shut themselves down when they have caught enough fish. How has that worked out in the past. We can't even count on the commercial fisherman to account for the fish that they do take currently never mind police themselves?
