PETITION - In the MEDIA:PETITION - Save Florida Keys Fishing! | Outdoor-Alliance
The Petition IS WORKING & due to all of the resistance to the Proposal from fishermen, they have been forced to ADD 4 more meetings for PUBLIC INPUT.
The SAC website has heard the Petition & now states in it's meeting recommendations: "Do not include fishery management issues" because they know it's an argument that they can't win.
>>> We all need to show up to the meetings & stress the Petition statement that "MPA fishing closures should be based on Fisheries Management scientific data that justifies the LOCKOUT over all alternative options... & to utilize all other fisheries management tools & methods, before the expansion &/or creation of any MPA's are considered."
