Congressman Melancon Seeking Meeting With Ocean Policy Task Force To Discuss Fishing Policy
|
|
|

Congressman Charlie Melancon has requested a meeting with a key Administration official to discuss possible changes to federal fishing regulations. Melancon says the closing of the comment period for NOAA’s Ocean Policy task force has a lot of fishermen like me worried about the future of both recreational and commercial fishing. He says his unease stems from two things: one, Louisianians love the sport and life on the water. The other is that any weekend fisherman that’s paying even the slightest bit of attention knows that our fish stocks are threatened by many, many issues: overfishing, fish farms, and fertilizer intrusions from farms as far up-river as Iowa. He says he has spoken to other gulf coast lawmakers who want to protect the way of life on the Gulf for fisherman. He is hoping to meet with NOAA Administrator Lubchenco to sit down and talk about a fishing policy that works for Louisiana. |
