That's an interesting web site but you have missed the point. Someone
claimed that the lobster fishermen were, on their own, practicing good
conservation techniques. You respond with a site that lists a bunch of laws
for lobster conservation. This is a totally different thing. If there are
good laws, and if the lobsters are indeed being conserved, that's great. But
it bears no relevance to the claim that the fishermen are doing it on their
own. In fact it suggests the opposite. If the fishermen were doing it on
their own, why are the laws needed?
