Thank you for the editorial in support of new appointments to the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council ("More balance on fishing board," July 3). The candidates are well qualified for their roles and each will make unique and exceptional contributions to sustainable fisheries management in the Mid-Atlantic.
The New Jersey appointee, Chris Zeman, is especially well suited for his role representing the Garden State.
An attorney and conscientious recreational fisherman, Zeman has worked for years on fisheries management issues on behalf of some of the nation’s leading environmental organizations, including Oceana and Natural Resources Defense Council.
