All of you have contacted me in support of my legislation to ban purse seining of menhaden in Narragansett Bay.
I appreciate your emails.
I am attaching a copy of the DEM report released on Friday, March 30th, and need your help.
As you will read, Mark Gibson, from DEM, believes that we do not need to prohibit the use of purse seining to protect menhaden. I believe he is absolutely WRONG! I have personally witnessed Ark Bait surrounding a menhaden school and after they are done, there is not ONE menhaden left!
PLEASE write to your Reps and Senators and urge them now more than ever to support the banning of purse seining for the taking of menhaden in Narragansett Bay.
Thank you.

Representative - District 69 (Bristol and Portsmouth)

I received this email last night from rep Gallison,he attached a pdf file that I'm not smart enough to attach.Basically it says that they are going to use the freedom to fish act,against us,in favor of Ark bait.I don't know how(or even if) we can do anything about it,but I'd say it's crunch time,and now is the time to resubmit e-mails,letters and calls to our reps and senators,telling them how we feel about it.
