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.

Re: U.S. House of Representatives Passes Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Bill
Gerry, How about all the hard work also put in by the Jersey Coast Anglers Association. You always forget us in your accolades. A NON-PROFIT group made up of ALL volunteers. Not one officer receives a salary. We work very hard for N.J. fisherman. Our past president, Mr. Haertel, can run circles around the best of them when it comes to fishing laws for every species.
I'm sure a lot of N.J. Fishing members have read his very lengthy post on what goes down with the laws. He spends hours of his time writing his post so others understand the laws. And he does it for the love of our sport. That's his pay. So please give credit to 'every organization' where credit is deserve.
