I'll believe that when I see it. That's okay. It's a goal worth striving for, but I think the difficulties are essentially insurmountable.
Mr. Chapman, you were fairly...not critical, but you questioned the science that has been done in the past, in terms of effort. I know you didn't question the competency of the people or the department doing the work. Yet, the department and the science did detect the bloom in the shrimp and it did detect the decline in the shrimp. You were somewhat critical of the index method of sampling. The index method of sampling fish and wildlife populations is one of the most efficient ways of determining trends, and this is what we're talking about here, trends. Whether determining the numbers of moose or deer or so on all across fish and wildlife biology, index sampling has been done, and index netting and sampling, in particular, in fish management has been done.
Why, Mr. Chapman, do you think the index method of assessing trends in shrimp stocks is so inadequate?
