After collecting empirical evidence from peer-reviewed scientific sources, it has been determined that the current plan to manage the Alaska crab fishery makes it only a potentially renewable resource. What impact would this decision have on future management plans?
1) Additional efforts need to be made to protect the crabs from overfishing.
2) Lifting of size and catch limits will help to make this resource completely renewable.
3) More research should be done into the reproductive behaviors of the different species.
4) Economic limitations should be ignored to make the crab population the primary fishery in the state.
