Might not be actually good news. Last I read on this, and it was a few months ago, the flexibility they're touting now meant delaying action on protecting declining stocks so large commercial fisheries could continue unchecked until things reached critical mass. It's important for people to realize that reducing quotas early on when there are still plenty of fish to reproduce is much preferable to fishing them to the brink and having to close the fishery for 10 years.
