Posting is therapeutic

I find that blogging is quite good for the soul and a great way to express oneself . You can stand back and focus on positive thoughts , help a worthy cause , promote your business interests , or get philosophical . I try to mix it up and keep it interesting for the readers of this Blog . There is an issue that is upon those in the Marine Industry as well as the Fishing industry [commercial and recreational] I mentioned it in an earlier blog post and I have some information to pass along regarding what is being done in the spirit of cooperation between the fishermen . This is directly copied from the NOAA site

New Regulatory Action:

NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA

Fisheries Service) announces the recreational fishery for

red snapper in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico will

close effective 12:01 a.m. local time August 5, 2008,

through December 31, 2008, the end of the current

fishing year. The recreational fishery in federal waters

will reopen on June 1, 2009, the beginning of the 2009

federal recreational fishing season. NOAA Fisheries

Service has determined this action is necessary to

prevent overfishing and to keep the recreational fishery

from exceeding its quota during the 2008 fishing year.

There will be a meeting of common interest to both the sport and commercial guys at Waterstreet Seafood (update: Coombs Armory) The flyer for it reads ;

I will be there , so should you if you have an interest in reasonable conservation !
