Thanks for everyones support with the public hearings! We had an impressive turnout at every hearing. Comments against reallocation were strong everywhere - including a decisive 19-1 in our favor in St. Petersburg, and more than 2:1 in our favor overall! Please continue to show your support by telling the Council that reallocation will not solve the problem of shorter recreational seasons. gulfcouncil.org/council_meetings/comment_forms/RF%20Amendment%2028%20-%20Allocation.php Click this link to tell the Council to: 1. Oppose reallocation because it will not solve the problems in the recreational fishery, will result in further overharvesting by the recreational sector, and will cause instability in the commercial sector. 2. Support the Status Quo alternative in Amendment 28 . 3. Work with recreational fishermen to give them real solutions to promote stability in their fishery. 4. Follow the law and protect the red snapper resource for all users and future generations.
