Licenses are a way to prevent people from overfishing populations. Certain populations have been overfished to the point of being endangered, and if a species gets erased out of an ecosystem, the overlying ecosystem gets thrown out of place depending on how key of a species the fish was.

There are some species the gov does not care about eg the invasive lionfish and asian carp

Thanks for more thoroughly explaining the benefits of parks and preservation efforts. Super import work. If you get a parking ticket for camping with your parks pass in your glove box, don’t dispute it if you can afford it.

I think they were joking about my clumsy phrasing, though

Also if they were a particularly delicious species no one would be able to enjoy them anymore.
