Key Issues

  • Protect the Use of Traditional Tackle

    Efforts are underway to prevent the use of lead tackle for fishing despite scant evidence that using lead has a harmful impact on wildlife populations.

  • Vessel Speed Restrictions for Right Whales Will Prevent Access

    The recreational fishing community cares about whale conservation but we need a smarter approach!

  • Flounder, Scup, Black Sea Bass and Bluefish

    The process for setting recreational management measures like bag limits, size and season is in need of reform.

  • Forage Fish

    To have healthy sportfish populations, there first must be a healthy food base. Simply put, big fish need plenty of little fish to eat.
