Gentlemen.. I was at the meeting... A DU Rep... made a presentation that showed where LA. WL&F money was used to Purchase habitat.. If I remember right; It was something like $350K..... But I'm not sure where the money used; came from??? Mr. Reynolds was there, so he can tell everyone exactly where that money came from.. I'm Sure...
On another note: Everyone on this site should be emailing Sec Melancon's office.. Leting him know that U all support State Management of Red Snaps...
As long as the Gulf Council is in the back pockets of the Commercials ... We will never get our fair access to R Snaps.. The Meeting turned into a Gulf Council meeting.. Environmental Defense Fund which back majority of the RS commercial efforts had many Paid representatives there.. Yes.. They commercial fishermen expenses to attend these meetings.. Even the Star of the Nat Geo Realty Show "Big Fish Texas" was there. All they said was They are against Garret Graves Bill. Period...
The ONLY WAY RECREATIONAL Fishermen Will ever get Equal access to RS is by State/Regional Management..
The Finfish Boilogist with LA WL&F gave a update on RS landings.. Even with the state season opened since Feb.. and the Federal season.. Landing Data indicated that "WE" have not even come close to our of LA Total catch share of the Federal Quota.
