Without exception, they believe that curtailing angling is not the answer. Dealing with the habitat destruction/enforcement is.

Then it’s ironic that it would be those past, retired biologists that watched this all happen over their careers and did nothing substantive to resolve it. Try to get them to own up to that reality. That would be admitting that they failed. So, here we are, trying to fix the bundle of problems they left to us all, while they criticize from their armchairs and collect pensions. Isn't the whole point of this program to deal with more than just angling? That’s what I get when I read the plans for the watersheds. The current bios are trying. They meet and communicate, and they get characterized as naive propagandists on a mission to destroy angling. How is it that they have less credibilty and support than the old bios that dropped the ball?
