[size 2]Fishermen to March on Washington, DC
Recreational and commercial fishermen, support business owners, families, and community leaders will gather at the steps of our Nation’s Capitol on February 24, 2010 from noon to 3 PM to show congress a united front of the impacts caused by the unintended impacts of the Magnuson Stevens Conservation and Management Act as revised effective January, 2007 (RMSA). The overly restrictive management requirements created by the RMSA based on non scientific arbitrary deadlines are forcing anglers off the water, eliminating commercial fishing, preventing consumers from purchasing locally caught fresh seafood, destroying small family businesses, increasing unemployment, and adversely affecting coastal communities. Bus trips are leaving from various locations throughout the state. Go to www.ssfff.net • www.unitedboatmen.com or www.joinrfa.org. for bus trip locations... ATTENTION FISHERMEN -- STOP JUST COMPLAINING AND DO SOMETHING POSITIVE
In a historic show of solidarity, recreational and commercial fishermen will gather together on the steps of the Capitol on February 24, 2010 from noon until 3 p.m. in an organized demonstration against the unintended negative impacts of the Magnuson Stevens Conservation and Management Act (MSA), the federal fisheries law which was revised in January of 2007. Buses heading to Washington, DC will be departing from locations around New York and New Jersey. For bus departure locations, times and bus ticket purchase go to www.ssfff.net • www.unitedboatmen.com or www.joinrfa.org Join us in DC and tell Congress Enough is Enough!... Any questions contact John@thedockoutfitters.com[/size]
