I seem to remember something about a Developmental Fisheries Board?

Perhaps Pilar would know something about that� :grin:

YAY Pilar and Jen!
:smile:

That was heroic and very satisfying work for them, and the others who put in hard time.

The Salty Dogs have been working with a fellow Ifisher(ChumKing) to develop new accomodating Tuna regulations which will go into effect for 2004. We tried for 2003 but they were already printed.

We also managed to postpone a decision on fish farming the coast to allow for some public input. I'm not sure where this is at right now.
