Question: From Chapter 15 of the book by Jack Davis, you learned that in the mid-1990s, several Gulf states responded to fish declines by banning or restricting gill-net fishing, an action which primarily impacted commercial fishermen. Why were commercial fishermen targeted by political action aimed at protecting fish populations? More than one answer may be at least partially correct, but please choose the response that best reflects the arguments made by Jack Davis in his book. Question Answer a. Commercial fishermen refused to join groups fighting for environmental causes. b. Commercial fishermen were the primary reason for fish declines in the late 1980s. c. Fishermen in general were the usual scapegoats for fish declines caused by pollution and habitat loss. d. Unlike recreational fishermen, commercial fishermen were poorly organized and unrepresented in state government.
