Regional Councils Tackle King Mackerel Management
Mike Dubuisson notes DOT progress as Congress creates eight Regional Fishery Management Councils under the 1976 Act. Gulf and South Atlantic districts seek a joint plan for King Mackerel, now split into Gulf and Atlantic migrating groups. Gulf fish are overfished while Atlantic are not, requiring differentiated rules.

Managing Gulf Stream fishery quotas and seasonal limits
The two migratory groups of Atlantic fish follow distinct seasonal ranges, one in extreme South Florida during summer and the other north of Cape Canaveral in winter. Managers propose separate total allowable catches and bag limits, with gear restrictions and species bycatch concerns, aiming to maximize annual national benefits in food and recreation. Further details on Florida Sea Grant’s 1984 directory are available through Coastal County Extension offices or the University of Florida.

Ending an Unfair Tax by Donald T Regan
President Reagan's 1981 Tax Act will index tax brackets starting January 1 1985 to offset inflation. The change shifts taxation to real gains above inflation, reducing the bite on wage earners and correcting a long standing windfall for the government.

Indexing protects taxpayers by preventing tax hikes from inflation
Government revenue rises without votes as inflation pushes bracket creep. Treasury estimates about 100 billion in higher taxes over 1985 to 1988 if indexing ends. Supporters argue indexing safeguards lower income earners and aligns with the President's tax pledge.
