Save commercial crabbing and shrimping in Washington state
Protect commercial crabbing and shrimping in the Pacific Northwest, saving the careers of the fisherman in the state of Washington.
Why is this important?
The commercial fishing industry in the Pacific Northwest is disappearing. Every year the state awards an ever increasing quota to sport fisherman, detracting from the commercial fleet, who's livelihoods depend on it. My father is a commercial fisherman, he's done it all his life, and his career is being threatened, along with the career of hundreds of other fisherman in the area. It's time to fight back before this industry disappears.
