What is the intended end goal of these guidelines?

Is this petition trying to add guidelines pertaining to safety (I.E. requiring insurance, safety inspections, coast guard licenses, and things of this sort) or is it aiming at controlling, monitoring, and/or reducing the pressure by regulating the amount of guides on the water? Either by physicality limiting the number (either by quota or by only allowing a certain number of permits per lake, or even making it so expensive that some cannot simply afford to guide?

Until the deep water horizon accident I worked several years as a guide fishing offshore blue water and have seen it done both ways both to the benefit of the industry and fisheries as well as to their detriment.
