The petition I imagine could be easily implemented via web. (I am not a web guy so I can't speak to this). It will be easy for individuals to participate in. Anonymous and easily promoted via boards FB twitter etc.

NO. What we need is NO public input. This is the problem. We need someone to mandate this is what will be done to protect the fishery...end of story. Nothing else needs to be said. If it is a reduction or a complete shut down...fine, just do it.

I appreciate and understand that but how does one get the ear of the management. By showing there is a concentrated group of people a large number of them that feel we need this type of change. Other wise 2015 is going to show up and this board is going to make a decision for all of us. The decision will happen regardless. If we can put something in front of them that they can look at and digest well we at least gave it a shot
