Have you read the latest edition of the RFA's Making Waves for Spring of 2014? With striped bass changes on the horizon, a federal fisheries law now up for debate in Congress, and a staggering 11-day federal red snapper season in the Gulf of Mexico (and states demanding rights for their local anglers) there's a lot to digest...click here to read this slick new interactive newsletter format!
WHAT'S INSIDE 'MAKING WAVES' THIS SPRING!
- NMMA's Thom Dammrich says "we fully support working towards building healthy, sustainable fisheries, but there has to be reasonable access for recreational fishing and that is what has been overlooked under current federal law and regulations."
- RFA executive director and lobbyist Jim Donofrio explains how ongoing pressure by grassroots angling activists under the RFA banner have made clear the need for an overhaul of the Magnuson Stevens Act in order to better represent saltwater anglers, and perhaps unite the recreational fishing industry.
- Read Environmentalism and the Decline of the West by noted marine scientist Walter Starck. It's a shocking indictment of today's environmental movement by a respected, independent scientist! - Meet the newest RFA advocates - in Massachusetts, Capt. Mike Pierdinock has been tabbed as the new Massachusetts state Chairman, while New Jersey surfcaster Greg O'Connell has been elevated to National Shore Access Representative.
- Get the lowdown on striped bass management along the Atlantic Coast with RFA research scientist, John Depersenaire.
- Plus, breaking legislative news, state chapter updates & more.
