We have posted a letter to Congressmen Pallone, Frank, Jones et al and Senator Schumer thanking them for their support of recreational, commercial and party/charter fishermen, their families and the businesses that depend on them.
In the letter we point out the problems that fishermen have been facing and continue to face, the cause of those problems, and the way to fix them - which boils down to restoring the role for fishermen that was designed into the original Magnuson Act.
The letter is linked below. If you agree with it, please fill out the following form and urge the people who you fish or do business with to do the same. The future of our fisheries, and of who controls them, depends on it.
Thank you very much,
Ray Bogan Captain Jim Lovgren
Captain Tony Bogan Sean McKeon
Bonnie Brady Amanda Odlin
Phil Curcio Jeff Reichle
Jim Donofrio Ernie Panacek
Bob Jones Captain Britt Schackleford
Captain Bob Zales II Nils Stolpe
