...you wouldn't agree to any more delays or studies; you've already won. So why would they?

The only actiuons left are thru the courts. We as a group were at a disadvantage from the start because the exclusionists... er, conservationists on the other side of the issue were better organized, better fiunded, and had a better sounding argument for the casual observer: "Save the oceans, save the planet, save the whales,..." Our argument has essentially been, "We have the right to fish."

Their argument is "caring" while ours sounds "selfish." (to the uncommitted public at large). Ours was a bad position to defend, and we really didn't fully understand our enemy.
