data released last year indicated that the fish was so severely overfished that even if all fishing on it ended immediately, it would not rebound by 2014 to levels required under federal law.

Over-fishing: another sign of human destructiveness to this planet and everything on it, including ourselves. Tragic that the USA wants to argue about climate change and other environmental issues rather than coming together to resolve them (electric cars, etc.) 

Yes. I know...the "lobbyists" control congress...and in a capitalist-based economy, the "operative" word is "consume"...take, take, take.
