Time for independent fishermen to start rebuilding their role in management?

Then please invest two or three minutes in visiting the Fix Magnuson Now website. Read the linked letter, supporting Congressman Pallone's and Senator Schumer's Flexibility in Magnuson

Management legislation, and sign on to the petition. It's at http://fs16.formsite.com/FixMagnusonNow/form793561462/ .

This legislation isn't going to fix all of our problems, but it's a good start. If we can't get behind this as fishermen - whether commercial, recreational or party/charter - the foundation funded ENGOs and the people they control are going to remain in charge and strengthen their hold on fisheries management and ocean policy.

Thanks for your attention:
