“We can't force anyone to do that absent a regulation, but it's a request that we put out there saying this is pretty important to the Council. And so that was done in 2026 and will be done again in 2027 in the A season in particular, since that's where there's overlap with the fishery.”

It's—. We can't force anyone to do that absent a regulation, but it's a request that we put out there saying this is pretty important to the Council. And so that was done in 2026 and will be done again in 2027 in the A season in particular, since that's where there's overlap with the fishery. So I hope it, it makes sense to folks why it looks like a request. I really feel like it's an in-the-meantime measure while we work on something that could be in regulation.
