Thanks Ralph. I will look at those dates and try to make it. I agree that the AP meetings are helpful.

USA Bluefin receational Fishery...Angling category

Hi John, if you can? make time to go to the NMFS HMS AP meeting beginning on May 11th for 3 days. An agenda is published ahead of time, when I get you a copy I could send it to you. It appears (not formally released yet) that the USA angling category is over by an enormous amount.Your care program can help control this if the scope was re-enforced by NMFS. I would speak on your behalf and could also get some other AP's on your side also. No harm in trying. RalphSee More

I encourage you to use your own page here on SaveTheBluefin to make announcements or just simply provide insight. You have great experience both on and off the water. As we spoke about before, I am happy to post updates on your behalf as well. Please say hi to Michael and Jeff for me! Let the conversation continue on the internet, in the plane and on the pulpit!

Check out this new video of wild giant bluefin being hand fed by a crew from PEI. This is why I care so much and am fighting to save these great tuna. I can only hope that smart minds prevail when weighing the short term economics against the declining numbers of the bluefin. The EU is the hot spot right now and sadly it does not look like humans can find the fortitude to give these fish a break so badly needed to re-build. I am doing what I can and will never give up so let's see how we can better the situation. Please say hi to Michael and Jeff! If I can get North in October I will let you know. Thanks for the invite.
