Take Action for Striped Bass in Massachusettes

An important action alert from Stripers Forever.

There will be a joint hearing on the Economics study Bill that we have filed. We need you to send emails to the committee chairs in support.

BACKGROUND:

The Bills call for an economic study to be done on the striped bass fishery and directs the Div. of Marine Fisheries to manage the fishery for its greatest economic return to the Commonwealth and its citizens.

ACTION NEEDED:

Please send emails to both: The senate chair, Michael Rodrigues (michael.rodrigues@masenate.gov) and the House Chair, Jay Kaufman (jay.kaufman@mahouse.gov) cut and paste these e-mails from here.

Tell them the commonwealth is losing millions in tax revenue because of the mismanagement of the striped bass fishery and it needs to be addressed and fixed. Ask them to support  Bills SB-1452 and HB-2506.
