Public Comment Form for pending SAMFC regs change

[JohnB]

All,
The SAMFC, which is the federal agency that regulates and makes the rules in federal waters through out the southeast is proposing some changes. The are having public comment meetings through out the region. If you can get to one of these, I would strongly recommend it. If you can't, I have put up an online form that you can use to submit your comments on upcoming regulations.

The form has links to the actual regs so you can read them.
It is pre-populated with the opinions of many concerned anglers, and organizations. Please don't post back if you disagree, I am just providing an EASY way to get your voice heard. You can put your own comments in, or modify the ones that are there.

Please read the regs, read the opinions, and then add your own comments. We didn't get a good recreational angler turnout at the public meetings, so here is the chance to spend a little time to get informed on what is going on, make your own opinions, and more importantly, get your voice heard.

This form generates emails to all the appropriate SAMFC members, and will be considered as part of the public comments on these ammendments.

I can't tell you how important it is to get the word out on this. Feel free to post this link anywhere that concerned anglers might see it, and have their voices heard.

We have 9 days, Feb 22, 5pm is the cutoff.
