Where the HELL is our representation?????

[Denny]

Yea, I was at the Gulf Council meeting last week.
And this week, I am in Atlanta for the Review portion of the Red Grouper Assessment.
We have NO RECREATIONAL MEMBER of the review panel. Do ya wonder how we get screwed? This is one of the ways.

What do you do? Give the Gulf Council a call and ask for Wayne Swingle. Ask him WHY there is no recreational rep on the panel. 813.348.1630 or email at wayne.swingle@gulfcouncil.org. OR, try Robin Reichers, chairman of the Gulf Council at 512-389-4864 or email at robin.reichers@tpwd.state.tx.us

BE NICE WHEN YOU CALL. Simply ask how the rec sector can feel fairly represented in the process.

Some people bowed out, but there was time to get another rep.
In fact, I could have filled in if asked. Now I will HAVE to fill in, but not as a panelist who is reimbursed for trip expenses.

And, for the record..... MRFSS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A representative from the Fishing Rights Alliance has brought
some disturbing news to our attention.While attended the review
portion of the Red Grouper Assessment he discovered we have no
recreational member of the review panel!
How can the recreational sector feel fairly represented in this
process.

Good job, all. Keep hammering. Robin Reichers is one hour behind us because he is in Texas, so you have until about 6pm Florida time to call him if you want to reach him today.

By all means, let's get a few emails and phone calls going for the entire week. There is a stakeholder disconnect going on (once again) and we must fight.

Maybe they should go ahead and appoint me to the review panel as I am already here.
Sorry about the misspelling of Robin's email.

I spoke with Mr. Swingle this morning, and he went off on a long monologue on how you had to already be a member of another advisory panel in order to be considered for the review panel of the grouper assessment currently taking place. Supposedly they offered the invitation to several people in the rec sector qualified in such fashion, but supposedly they all declined. He said that Denny is already there in ATL, and it is essentially much ado about nothing :mad: :confused:. .

Much ado about nothing?? BS. Much ado about the thousand dollars it is costing me to be here that, were I appointed, would be reimbursed.
Call Wayne back and ask if I am being reimbursed. I'd love to hear his answer.

BY THE WAY- I AM a member of an advisory panel. Wayne knows this. Let's get them to cut loose with the funds for my trip.
Ask Wayne if he could spare a thousand and a week away from his paying job to do this?

I feel strongly that the Red Grouper Assessment Review should not proceed without a good representative of the recreational sector, particularly because the recreational data is “Fatally Flawed”.

Garbage in - garbage out.

Please correct this problem before proceeding with rule making.

Id like to get the "much a-do about nothing" in writing from Mr Swingle. Shrugging off all recreational fishermen on such an important issue definitley needs to be addressed. He has yet to respond to my inquiry and the other address (Texas) didnt work for me.
Keep us posted D. Governor Christ might like to hear about such a clear example of how Florida fishermen are being excluded from this process.

"A collaborative issue" means that the enviro group Pew puts out a pile of BS based on a previous report.

Our single biggest prblem is the enviro sector. Like I metioned in another thread, the enviros are overrunning the Council meetings. the 10-12 enviro reps (ALL SALARIED EMPLOYEES) are dangerous to all fishing interests.
They want things closed and most think that we should stop fishing altogether for two to five years. :rolleyes:

Need some input on this, please, Denny or anyone else. It's been a long day for me, and I'm exhausted so at this point in drafting this letter I feel cross-eyed and much like I'm rambling.

I'd like to fax it in the morning so if you'd responsd ASAP, that'd be great. I did borrow some language from some of the posts on this thread in case you recognize quotes.

Lt. Governor Kottkamp is one of my company's former legal clients so I'm going to fax a personalized version to him; as well as to Swingle and Reicher.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Denny, I'm going to e-mail this to you as well in case you check that first.

Dear Governor Christ:

THE RIGHTS OF FLORIDA’S FISHERMEN ARE BEING THREATENED!?

Recreational fishermen are being unfairly excluded from representation during the review portion of the Red Grouper Assessment being held this week in Atlanta!

Yesterday afternoon, it came to our attention that there is no representative from the recreational sector sitting on the current panel!

How can recreational fisherman in the Gulf be resented fairly when there is NO representation? I would suggest that decisions made without adequate data, information, research and opinions from ALL aspects of the this particular will result in serious and irreversible errors in judgment. There is fatally flawed data being supplanted.

Fair representation is the only representation.

Additionally, a representative for the recreational aspect sitting on the panel would be extremely beneficial in providing additional and valuable viewpoints to any and all decisions made. I am a spearfisherman who is very familiar with the fishery in question. My personal experience is in direct contradiction with the recreational data that is being presented. Garbage in - garbage out.

An extremely organized and highly motivated group of recreational fishermen, the Fishing Rights Alliance (FRA), of which I am a member, made a last-minute collaborative effort to contact Wayne Swingle at the Gulf Council and Chairman Robin Reichers (Gulf Council) regarding the aforementioned oversight.

Denny O’Hern, one of FRA’s dedicated and selfless members was in attendance at the Gulf Council meeting last week and, thankfully, is present this week in Atlanta for the Review portion of the Red Grouper Assessment.
WITHOUT HIS DEDICATION WHO WOULD PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF FLORIDA’S FISHERMEN?!?

Mr. Swingle has explained that in order for a representative to be considered for placement on the review panel of the grouper assessment currently taking place, that one need be a member of another advisory panel, and that since Mr. O’Hern is currently in Atlanta for the review, even though he has not been formally appointed a panelist, Mr. Swingle is of the opinion the lack of representation for recreational fishermen is a nonissue. I ask you: Could, and more importantly, WOULD Wayne Swingle be willing to spend one thousand plus dollars of his own money AND a week away from his paying job to attend the review assessment!?!

Please instruct Chairman Robin Reichers and Mr. Wayne Swingle of the Gulf Council to immediately appoint FRA Member, Denny O’Hern, as a panelist on the red grouper assessment review so that the rights of ALL recreational fishermen are protected and to provide valuable data and provide calculated, crucial information to the pending Red Grouper Assessment.

Cordially,

[Marcus]

Oh...I think that the recreational fisherman are definitely not being resented fairly. :D

how about including a sentence about how important the saltwater sporting segment is to FLA, about $ 7 BILLION i think?

[Gradyman]

Petra, great job !!

how about including a sentence about how important the saltwater sporting segment is to FLA, about $ 7 BILLION i think?

Ditto...great letter.

[Ed Walker]

The organizations Marcus mentioned are hardcore fisherman haters. I guess them giving NMFS a C- means that, while they have stopped a lot of fishing, there are still some damn fishermen out there catching fish. A grade of A would certainly mean the entire ocean has finally been turned into a no fishing zone and the fish are now safe.
I think we need to send George Bush a few notes as to what the fish huggers are doing under the guise of "conservation". Last I heard him and his old man enjoyed Florida fishing. Next time they come to visit they wont be allowed to and it will be his own damn fault.
BTW-its refreshing to see this many people responding to a fisheries issue. :thumps: There may be hope yet...

[chasintail]

Lets not forget this is not just a Florida issue.Let all the spearos and anglers in this great country unite against the azzholes who are trying to take away our rights (and give them to the commies)!We all purchase a fishing permit to spear/fish per state.I don't spend that money to fund representation for commerical intrest!!!

My rep. from FRA has told me that he was reviewing the Red Grouper Assessment and he found out that WE HAVE NO RECREATIONAL MEMBER on the review panel,.

I don’t think that is fair or RIGHT, that the fishing recreational public has no representation in your comity, in making these decisions.

The comity should be comprised of Reps. From all Areas of the State FL, Not only of State and Private (BIG MONEY) entities.

We all have to be represented fairly and just. (It’s the American way!!!)

We need a voice for the Fishing Public.

We should have every ones interest at hand not only the people in the comity and big money.

But the interests and rights of the most important people the General PUBLIC, that with out US, You would not have any funds (money) for all the time, travel, diner, boarding, etc. that your expense report reflect.

I thank you very much for your time, I will stop here beaus I get very passionate about this and I don’t want to offend any one.

WE are many and we will protect our RIGHTS.


Very worried!

PS: I just now got to read the rest of the Board and see that you have been appointed Danny Congrats:thumps:

Very nice everyone. When people participate, things happen, its that simple.
Its a shame that it has to be so damn difficult for recreational fishermen to get a fair shake or even an invitation to the table when they are one of the largest stake holder groups.

Just got the email,


From: Charlene Ponce [Charlene.Ponce@gulfcouncil.org]

Thank you for your e-mail regarding recreational representation on the Review portion of the Red Grouper SEDAR process. The SEDAR process is a multi-step method for examining stock assessments. The process includes data collectors, biologists, fishermen, database managers, stock assessment biologists, Council members and staff.

We are currently in the Review portion of the process for SEDAR 12, where we conduct a Peer Review of the stock assessment report that resulted from the Data and Stock Assessment workshops. This report is peer reviewed by the Review Committee composed of CIE (Center for Independent Experts) representatives only. However, today the Council Chair approved Mr. Dennis O’Hern as the recreational representative, and he will participate in the workshop as an observer. In addition, all workshops are open to the public.

I hope this information is helpful. Please contact me if you should have additional comments or concerns. Attached for your review and information is a copy of A Guide to Fisheries Stock Assessment - it provides additional detail about the SEDAR process.

Sincerely,

Wayne Swingle

Executive Director

Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council

Hey all- the review workshops have stakeholders (rec and cmmercial fishermen) as observers. That is what we wanted to have me appointed as.
Mission accomplished.
this is VERY good. The Council listened to us. We can't ask for more than that. In fact, I will be thanking Wayne and Robin for appointing me.
Perhaps a few of you who called would call or write back with a short 'thank you'. It will go a long way when we needtheir attention again.
Thanks again, everybody.
