Cool to do what you think is best for sure.
However, those two items would mean that the vast majority f every seabass and porgy caught inshore in my neck of the woods would be thrown back. Can't they keep a few keepers?
We haven't had seabass over 15" in large numbers in my neck of the woods, inshore, during the summer, in the 80 years we've been in business. The avg. seabass we catch that time of year is 8-12" with a fair amount between 12 and 16"
I'm not knocking anyone in any way, it just caught me by surprise to see such a high size for two fish that rarely avg that in the Jersey Shore area during summer months.
We gotta go fishing where you are!
