I studied Marine Industries. I also am a Recreational Fisherman. These are the Things that the Bill needs to Include.
1) Make the Fee for OUT of STATE Commercial Fishermen 10 Times as High as State Residents. 2) Outlaw the Harvesting of Female Blue Crabs with or Without Roe Showing! The Females are the Lifeblood of the Blue Crabs! 3) Outlaw the Harvesting of Female Softshell Crabs during the Soft Shell Crab Season! That will be a Significant Help!!

Blue crabs are not often referred to as soft shell crabs. Blue crabs are blue crabs. Soft Shell crabs are blue crabs that have recently molted and before their shell re-hardens.
