So why was coral mentioned if long lining is the issue here?

If they don't "normally" target it, they don't catch it? 

SOME captains and crew are American but majority are not.  It's a tough job/life.  There's clearly not enough that want to work these boats. 

We can go back and forth.  What is your solution to feed the masses when more American waters get shut down?  You stated you don't want 2-4 week old fish, where can you get that from a foreign country?  A country with healthy food regulations and strict quotas? Another country out there that has American labor?  

It's simple, you shut or clamp down on US fisheries, businesses need to be run and the demand is only going up.  They are forced to bring in inferior product with little regulations and traceability.  That part has nothing to do with fisheries management, that's just basic economics.
