I agree that prof help is warranted and suggested to hold off on more fish. However he said no ! My view of this is that we should try and help guide him through this not just say the sky is falling. Gather what info you can and lets see how we can help.
I can't agree more!!! Well said.
What about all the different ways he may research and evaluate what he has going on. Then apply that knowledge to help start the process of proper management. He will gain their trust thru education and applying simple techniques, and then they may trust his opinion when he says its time to bring in a professional manager.
Perhaps the HOA is willing to spend money on traps, seins, etc?
Perhaps spending money on literature to educate the fisherman as to what needs to be kept track of and how to do it?
