I can't speak to Southeast, but I know that there have been issues with the fisheries in Southcentral in the last couple of years, and some (small-time, family-run) commercial fishing operations (including some run by friends of mine) have been very dissatisfied both with the productivity of the fisheries as well as how the state has handled some of the issues.
