The average landed weight had dropped to approximately 60 pounds, swordfish were overfished and overfishing was occurring. Conservation efforts to recover the species were diverse and widely supported at the grassroots level, including a drive to inform local chefs of the problem and placards displayed in restaurants that did not serve swordfish. The public responded forcefully to the plight of swordfish and today anglers point to the recovery with pride as a significant conservation victory. The initial problem with the fishery was that too many juvenile swordfish were dying due to longlining off the coast of Florida and the Charleston Bump. As a result, those nursery areas were identified and closed to the United States pelagic longline (PLL) fleet in 2001. These domestic measures proved to be successful, and it did not take many years before the scientific wing of International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) declared the Western Atlantic swordfish to be recovered. Unfortunately, ever since the fishery was deemed recovered, there have been ill-conceived attempts to reopen the closed areas to commercial harvest and expose it to the types of intense commercial fishing pressure that drove it into an overfished condition in the first place. Under the guise of research, Dr. David Kerstetter has filed his second application in less than a year for a federal exempted fishing permit to introduce longlining into the East Florida Coast Pelagic Longline Closed Area – this one under the name of a company he formed in December 2017, Florida Fisheries Solutions LLC.
