Here's what I wrote in my e-mail-simple and to the point. I hope it helps.
Hi Melanie. Unfortunately, I will be unable to make it up to Gloucester for this meeting but just wanted to send you a note indicating that I am 100% in favor of the proposed closure on Codfishing. I believe that the future of Codfishing is dependent on protecting these spawning Codfish from gillnetters. I have been rod and reel fishing for Codfish since I was a little boy and sure do enjoy taking my Father and friends out to do it on my own boat today. I hope someday to share that experience with my own children. Thank you.
