Tell NMFS to protect Maine's fishing heritage

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is about to update the rules that guide fishing off our coast. And they need to hear from you.

Will you tell them to put strong protections from overfishing in place, so we can help overfished stocks recover and ensure they won't become depleted to the point where they can't bounce back?

Letter	Dear National Marine Fisheries Service, Fish populations are collapsing in America's oceans with tragic impacts for all of ocean life. This is a threat to Maine's fishing heritage. The need for a precautionary ecosystem approach to fishery management is long overdue. This process began because Congress and the President recognized a crisis in the oceans and passed a decisive law to end overfishing and elevate the role of science in fisheries management. Your final new National Standard 1 must be strong and clear to ensure that Fishery Management Councils err on the side of caution in setting annual catch limits and accountability measures. America's oceans are publicly owned. As one of those owners, I want a new National Standard 1 that ends overfishing of all stocks as required by law. Thank you for your work. Please consider this an official comment for proposed National Standard 1 and proposed NEPA regulations. Sincerely,
