Red Snapper IFQ owner David Krebs fined $2,000

[Capt_John]

I got this from another site.....

I received a copy of The 3rd quarter law enforcement report for 2009, which
lists Southeast Settlements for NOAA Fisheries violators.

This info is from the NOAA GCEL Southeast Settlement Quarterly Report for
the period July 1 thru Sept 30, 2009.

Case # SE0800102FM, Respondent Name is Dreamcatcher, Inc. and David Krebs,
Jr., Vessel Name, NAN BALDWIN, Area, GOM, LE Unit, NMFS, Case Description,
Fail to comply with requirements for observer coverage and/or fish without
an observer (Gulf Reef Fish), Final Amount, $2,000.00.

For those who do not know Krebs, he is the guy (red snapper IFQ owner who
reportedly owns the maximum amount allowed and fish house owner from Destin,
FL) who was the Ocean Conservancy spokesperson publicly opposing the March
on Washington and not wanting flexibility in the Magnuson Act.

$2,000 FINE???? THAT'S IT?


AND HE WAS AGAINST THE MARCH YOU SAY? THEN I HOPE HE SUFFERS RIGHT ALONG WITH THE REST OF US...

Read closely he failed to put to sea with an observer, If you hold any comm lic ( dolphin wahoo comm etc) and your # gets called you cannot put to sea without the observer for the next trip. It doesn't say he went over quota or violated trip limits that is why only 2,000 bucks.

Yes he is a douche bag for speaking opposing the march but it takes all kinds to screw up this world he is mearly just one.
