Sample Letter RE: Oyster Issue

[mikedatiger]

I am sure there are multiple items to consider/approvals required, etc., but can't we do something on our own with regards to re-seeding? i.e. if we get the proper approvals I am sure enough people would donate money to make it a worthwhile effort. I know I would. Granted it's not the optimal solution but it's a start...

IMO this would be a great way for us to band together and contribute to something we all love and enjoy. In the meantime I will send my letters.

Good idea Micah but I prefer there to be a percentage of the license taken and used for reseeding by and independent agency. It should be mandatory for the oystermen to pay for reseeding the reefs through a portion of their license since they are reaping the rewards.

I'm with you 100% Raymond and thought about that. Just thinking if we can get a group rolling this would be an immediate impact while we fight for additional regulations on the lake. I won't kid anyone to think I know the amount required for sufficient seeding purposes per area, but I did see it was roughly $50 for 1000 seeds.

Throwing it out there as a potential "weekend warriors" project.

If we do this, I will buy the first 5000 seeds.

I will match. Need help figuring out logistics of where to get them but I am game with this - pending there are no hiccups with bringing in outside seed.

Anyone have insight into this? SaltyCajun Reef??
