Add caveat to temporal management regarding illegal fishing #209

Closed shcaba closed 4 years ago

The warning would be that if one introduces temporal management, such a restriction might induce illegal fishing the rest of the year. This is also pertinent to other management measure that could induce illegal fishing.

Have added following static caveat to all Catch Limit options, and most Effort Limit options: "If perceived to be too low, or if there is a significant reduction in the catch/effort limit, this measure might induce illegal fishing." For temporal measures related to season duration, have added the following static caveat: "If the fishing season is perceived to be too short, this measure might induce illegal fishing." For temporal/spatial measures related to closures, have added the following static caveat: "If the closure is perceived to be too restrictive, this measure might induce illegal fishing.

This looks good. I adjusted the catch limit wording to read, "If the catch limit is perceived to be too low..." for clarity.

Options that were updated: Static Caveat "If the catch limit is perceived to be too low, or if there is a significant reduction in the catch limit, this measure might induce illegal fishing."
