Excellent observation, Eddie.... keeps the discussion framed in the right context. We all have an incremental impact.... it's just very difficult to appreciate the collective damage of our individual actions. When all you can focus on is how many (or few) fish you are allowed to harvest from this area or that, it's hard to get a handle on the bigger picture.

You can't honestly exclude the recreational impact from the equation.
