eel meeting?

[DZ]

Flap,
One of the two people who petitioned for adding eel to endangered species is from Maine - the other from Mass.
They've done their homework. More info on this website:

Also check out US F&W website about the study.

As I said last night at the meeting, under the WTO rules we cannot stop the export of eels unless they are given either endangered or threatened status. I don't like the glass eel fishery even a little, but, again as I said last night, when it takes 100,000 elvers to produce one spwan ready silver eel, its hard to argue against ltting them take some. I didn't understand the guys comment that eel farmers wouldn't be affected, they are the ones that buy the elvers, if there is no elver fishery there is no eel farming.

Hey #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, you ought not to pass judgement on a person without meeting or at least having a talk with them. Weather permitting, I will be codfishing out of Green Harbor a couple days a week for the rest of the winter. Drop me a line and come on down, we can talk it over while catching fish. Otherwise please give the PETA crap a rest.

Hey Tim W,
Please give us some background on the petition - how and why you got it started. This caught many of us by surprise. Knowing why you're doing it will help us understand your motive.
Assuming you are one of the petition starters.

Thanks

I am acually glad your on this site, Maybe you can answer some questions to help us understand?

Why did you get involved in this in the first place?

Who told you guys there was a problem?

Who just out of the blue decides to fight for eels?

Who did all your research? Unless your marine biologists ( which you very well may be) What I read would be very difficult for the layman to write?

Did you have an experiance that made you want to take up this cause? where you guys former eel harvesters and saw the stocks decline?

If your this passionate about eels, why were you not at all the meetings? since your mass residents, why were you guys not at the rhode island one last night??

Have you guys researcherd the missisippi population which numbers in the millions? Since there is no hard past data? where does all of it come from?


You guys put it out there and some in the public are now going to want to know ! I am not judging you but I am just curious as to where point A was ?
