Another attack on sport fishing

[pmagrady]

We need comments in regard to a new revision to National Standard 2. This revision is the next step by the NMFS to take away our rights to fish.

Please take the 30 seconds it will take and let your voice be heard.

The new revision to National Standard 2 would force the Councils to follow the Annual Catch Limits (ACL) of the Science and Statistical Committees (SSC) (yes the same ones that say there are no Snapper left). It would take away their discretion in rulemaking and leave them with no ability except to set regulations as per the ACL.

How would this work? Example for Red Snapper - Even if the Magnuson Stevens Flexibility Act is passed, the Council would still be forced to recommend total closure and the Secretary of Commerce would be forced to sign off.

Our friends at Pew, EDF and the other antifishing organizations have hedged their bets and set us up again.

Thank you.

Pat,

The website address doesn't have any working links on it. I tried getting on there but none of the links work.
