April 20, 2009, 11:23am (report abuse)This bill is absolutely necessary and should be signed. Specifically where items (111) and (IV) are currently being violated (in the case of the Gulf Council). Incorrect and inadequate data is currently being heralded as fact and severe restrictions are being placed on the recreational angling community as a result. A 2010 deadline to end the potential for overfishing of certain species is far too aggressive when opposing data has proven that it is simply not happening. The absence of this bill will further erode the millions of dollars in annual economic benefits derived from the recreational angling community.
