Catch Shares Pose Continued Risk

Recently, CCA asked the Gulf state governors to voice their concerns over a rapidly expanding federal program for managing fisheries called a catch-share program, and Gov. Jindal responded by joining with three other Gulf state governors on a letter to U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke – click HERE to see a copy of this unprecedented letter. (For additional background information on catch shares, click HERE.)

The letter signed by Gov. Jindal and the other governors was a powerful gesture on behalf of recreational anglers, and it has already drawn an intense rebuttal from supporters of catch-share programs. In essence, they are trying to tell Gov. Jindal he made a mistake supporting private recreational anglers...people like you and me.

It is very important that we stand behind the governor now, just as he stood with us when he signed the letter. Please take a moment today to send Gov. Jindal a note thanking him for his leadership in signing the letter to Secretary Locke, and expressing your concern over ongoing efforts to privatize our marine resources.

Obviously this battle is far from over and we will need the continuing support of Gov. Jindal to prevent catch share programs from slowly squeezing the private boat recreational angler off the water. Please see the sample message provided at the link below and use the email address provided to tell Gov. Jindal thanks, and encourage him to stand firm against misguided catch share programs.

Thank you.
