So you Shark loving folks, here's your chance.
First, inform yourselves because just attending to make the usual breathy noise will most certainly not cut it; and then go there and have your voices heard!

And since we're at it.
There will be a discussion about opening the protected and generally
Critically Endangered Goliath Groupers to limited harvest.
This is obviously highly controversial and you should inform yourselves and participate in the discussion. FYI, personally and despite being an avid angler I would vote against it as from a recreational fishing perspective,
catch & release is legal and perfectly sufficient - but that's just me. And if there really are too many in Florida, how about catching some and releasing them where there are not enough which is
everywhere else!

There you have it.
Long story short,
stop talking and start doing - and no, the usual tired
raising awareness counts for less than
nothing!
Wishing you the best of success!
