I DO NOT Support Catch Shares
I live in the Florida and care deeply about the health of our fisheries, local sustainable seafood, and coastal communities.
I support the Council's progress toward better fisheries management through real science, more independent fishery research, and the advice from knowledgeable, experienced, and historical fishermen. I DO NOT support catch shares for the snapper, grouper and golden crab commercial fisheries (amendments 21 and 5). Email comments to: SGAmend21Scoping@safmc.net or on Golden Crab to: GCAmend5Scoping@safmc.net
Catch shares will not end overfishing and rebuild fisheries, WILL NOT stabilizing good jobs, WILL NOT improving local seafood availability and WILL NOT contribute to our local economy. Catch shares will destroy the fishing fleets and fishing communities. The Council should not approve any catch share plan.
Better management of recreational fishing should also become a Council priority. The use of REAL, UNBIASED SCIENCE, plus improved up to date DATA COLLECTION, and independent fishery research will help to improve recreational fisheries. Using numbers of fish rather than pounds, will help to extend recreational fishing seasons and provide easier methods to collect data. Use flexibility in your management requirements for all fishing sectors to improve fishing opportunities for all anglers.
