Commercial fishing captain tells Obama officials their policies make it hard to produce wild caught seafood
|
I told Locke, "I am extremely disappointed [and], as far as I am concerned, you are doing a poor job," Ruhle said. He added, "I told them it bothered me to serve them wild caught seafood [because of how] hard they are making it for us to produce it."
Ruhle said he also spoke Wednesday night to Jane Lubchenco, administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. He said he told Lubchenco, "It's not getting any better. There is more fish out there of some species than we have ever seen. Something has to change."
The conversation occurred at the NOAA Fry Fish held in Washington, D.C., on June 9, said Ruhle, president of Commercial Fishermen of America. He said he spoke to Locke and Lubchenco as a commercial fisherman, not a CFA representative.
