Unfortunately you're right Mark, it's a sad thing to deal with but all we can do is make calls, sign petitions, and march when the opportunities arise. One of the big reasons I joined the Alliance was because I could see you guys stand for something great and it felt like it would give me an opportunity to help out with something I am very passionate about. Hopefully we (fishermen across the country) can all be as enthusiastic as this group here about protecting our resources and keep these catastrophes from happening even if the odds of those accomplishments happening are currently not good.
