MSBA has taken the information provided by Stokes and forwarded it to the proper athorities. I can tell you that ASMFC is interested in this issue however there is only so much that can be done until we get courageous fishermen that start taking pictures, writing down vessel numbers and noting exact locations.
FYI...Vessell numbers are not always about busting the operator. Truth is regulations can not be corrected if the truth is not verified. This is why we are about to re launch our
www.honestbycatch.comm web site. I will be at the MSBA & RISAA shows and other evets to help educate the puclic on how we can make a difference.
Evidence counts!!!
