Mike....Honest By Catch will be at RISAA and MSBA.
The Battle against these boats is coming to a head this Spring. Ammendment 5 to the Herring Plan is goign to Public Hearing sometime mid Feb and will continue to March. We must overwhelm the public hearings. We WANT
1. 100% monitoring (if gov't wont pay then industry should)
2.Restrictions on dumping
3. Weigh all fish landed
4. Closed Area Monitoring fishery wide.
5. Some By Catch protection
Honest By Catch urges all to attend the public hearings and send in comments. We will be advising when and how once the info is released.
Also in April Honest By CAtch will run 1 bus from Cape Cod and 1 Bus from RI to the final decision meeting on AM 5 in CT.
IF we show up we will win. If we do not we will not.
Please respond this Spring when we ask for help.
