Re: U.S. House of Representatives Passes Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Bill
WOW this is great news!!!
Truth be told, I had my doubts we'd ever get this far but thanks to the tireless efforts of many people, to include Jim Donofrio of the RFA, for sticking with it and getting it over the top. People are always questioning why get involved, why support organizations like the RFA, what have they been able to accomplish?? Well, this is a HUGE accomplishment and these organizations deserve our moral and financial support. Sign up and become a member today https://www.joinrfa.org/

Re: U.S. House of Representatives Passes Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Bill
Dave....thanks for posting. Sounds very positive and great to see the efforts of many potentially starting to pay dividends. Still has to pass full senate and devil is always in the details with legislation but anything modifying MSA has to be considered a step in the right direction and the intent sounds promising.
Hard to believe as your post mentioned "There are 11 million saltwater anglers in the U.S. who have a $63 billion economic impact annually and generate 440,000 jobs." that the recreational fishing sector doesn't have a better lobbying effort and more unified clout in Congress. Those are not insignificant numbers. Much thanks to the people mentioned in your post for their leadership in fighting for change, change which will hopefully strengthen our fisheries and secure our children's rights to enjoy the resource as we have.
