The National Marine Fisheries Service has issued exempted fishing permits to three commercial swordfish longliners for "research" purposes off Florida's East Coast and the Charleston Bump. Despite heated objections, the NMFS has reopened these areas that were closed in 2000 after a lawsuit filed by conservation groups.
NOW LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT HERE............AND I AIN''T TALKING SWORDFISH NEITHER.......I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT KILLING THESE BABY BILLFISH CALLED SWORDS.....
IS "JACKSONVILLE NEWS" REALLY ....THE JACKSONVILLE NEWS PAPER?
DO WE HAVE THE "PRESS" ...THE OTHER PRESS....READING HERE ON SFC? IMAGINE THAT EVER HAPPENING.....THE OTHER PRESS LIKES WHAT WE HAVE HERE.
Yes they opened it some. Another case of us not screaming loud enough. We let them do one stupid thing after another. It was Hogarths parting F*** Y** I think. I've said it all along. Not enough for us to say no. They need to be pushed off the map and restructured to stay out of rec end and lean on the com end they were originally created to do... Call your congress man a dozen times a day and express outrage. I do it a lot but can't do it alone. Its apathy "oh someone else can do it" that is setting this crap up...
I wonder who the exempted boats belong to and what connection to the pols they have? I wonder who they contributed to? Follow the money and publish it. The voters should take care of the rest.
