January 23, 2020 — If you’ve got two cents and want to share your thoughts about fishing and federal fishing laws, then take time next Thursday, go to New Orleans, because Congressman Jared Huffman, D-California, will share his open-to-the-public “Fisheries Listening Tour” stage with Louisiana’s Garret Graves, R-Louisiana.
The tour runs 4:30-6:30 p.m. inside the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas at 1 Canal Street in the Crescent City.
Huffman is the chair of the House Subcommittee on Water, Oceans and Wildlife, and this will be his fifth stop on what his staff calls a “nationwide listening tour on federal fisheries management designed to engage diverse perspectives, interests, and needs of individuals who have a stake in the management of federal ocean and fisheries resources.”
