CALL TO ACTION-PRINT AND SEND THIS FORM TO LET NORTH CAROLINA KNOW WE WON'T STAND FOR THIS

[LurkerCharters]

The disaster in the striped bass trawling fishery in North Carolina was caused by a conflict of interest. Marine Fisheries Commision member Mike Daniels owns one of the trawlers that was high grading and killing thousands of striped bass and his family owns the Wanchese Fish Company. He voted to allow the trawlers to finish out the qouta and ignore the public outcry over the thousands of dead stripers. I have attached the ethics complaint form and will post the article originally posted by Greg Sears about the meeting where the vote was taken. This is dirty business and I at least am going to do something about it. Email your elected officials and the white House too while you are at it. people need to step up and get loud or these practices will continue. If you don't help this cause, don't whine about how there are no fish and it's too late to stop closures and endangered species listings!

This is a good start to get the ball rolling. Make an example of these guys and maybe some of the other crackpots will think twice before pulling this crap.

PS I was not the one who posted that article but I did comment on it and This stuff happens all the time.

And of course that pointless devastation is not an entirely unfamiliar sight off Chatham, MA either.
