good job jim! here's mine...
Dear Mr. Beal,
I realize that the ASMFC uses the best available #'s and science, but i use the
eyeball test of MANY very experienced anglers (many with over 30 yrs on the
water) they ALL see the species in trouble. Please don't forget the myco
situation which affects as many as 75% of one of our most important breeding
stocks.
I strongly support the proposal by the Maine Department of Natural Resources
that asks the Striped Bass Management Board to create an addendum to reduce
coastwide mortality on striped bass. I am aware this is an agenda item for the
Striped Bass Management Board at the ASMFC Winter/Spring 2011 Meeting in
Alexandria, Virginia on March 23. I want to go on record as supporting this
proposal and I urge the Striped Bass Management Board to take positive action to
move forward with generating a new addendum to Amendment 6 of the Interstate
Fisheries Management Plan for Atlantic Striped Bass that will address reducing
coastwide striped bass mortality as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Signed, Donald Guimelli
