THE NYSDEC IS SEEKING COMMENTS ON THEIR NEW RULES TO 'PROTECT SHARKS' - PLS COMMENT; CONTACT INFO BELOW.
Pls also add comments on Patch.
FACTS: Sharks are an important part of the ecosystem.
Fish are NOT inanimate objects: They are sentient, intelligent
and sociable. Catch and Release is a disaster for fish. An 'angler' has
already stated the 'real' problem is wind farms - but these 'recreational
fishers' who use bait, fake lures etc. do indeed contribute - and can find
entertainment that doesn't involve killing any living beings.
