Ok,What is the best way to address this..
Gibson is probably right on most counts.I think the best avenue would be to show how the economic impact from striper fishing on the region could be possibly much greater with a menhaden loaded bay..An the negative impact that one bait company Ark will endure is over rated as they will still get there baits in MA..
RI spends a good amount on raising tourism.This is a summer fishery.Hotels restaurants,DD's,an convienence stores they will all benefit from a better striper fishery.Ur not just talking about a one state's increase in fisherman..
U'll have the public hearings.It's time for the fisherman to show up.U must speak on record.If u go an just sit there u basically go unnoticed...We went thru yrs of this till we finally got it thru.
