Reminder!!!! Attend the March 4th Bluefin Tuna meeting at 55 Great Republic Drive, Gloucester, Ma... The time is 3 to 5 pm.
The purpose of the meeting is to address effort controls for this year. Catches/underage in 2009 will weigh heavily at the ICCAT 2010 meeting. Leaving less on the table now strengthens our argument that there is less to give away later.
The message should be clear, loosen the effort controls for what ever category that you fish in so that you can achieve higher catch levels. Support other user groups.
We should not be punished for fishing with conservative standards that are above those set for other nations.
We have the infrastructure and willingness in place to commercially and recreationally to catch the fish.
Express your feelings and ideas. Support East Coast Tuna and the General Category Tuna Association.
