North Carolina fishermen to attend rally in support of industry |
|
The next big trip won’t be offshore for some area fishermen with concerns about a federal fisheries law they say is flawed.
Fishermen from both the commercial and recreational side are making plans to attend a Feb. 24 rally in Washington, D.C., to stand up for the fishing industry and reform of the Magnuson Stevens Conservation and Management Act. “We need the numbers to be up there to show support for the fishing industry,” said Capt. Sonny Davis, owner of the Capt. Stacy head boat based out of Atlantic Beach. Davis plans to attend the rally and has worked to recruit others for a North Carolina Fisheries Association-organized bus trip, just one of several being planned around the region as the rally nears. |
