President Takes Action For Two of American Anglers'
Favorite Fish

America's saltwater anglers achieved a major victory this
week
as President Bush gave gamefish status to red drum and
striped
bass in federal waters. An Executive Order signed Saturday
by
the president not only instructs the Secretary of Commerce
to
put regulations in place covering red drum and striped bass
in
federal waters, but encourages states to take similar
actions in
state waters. The gamefish designation for two of the most
treasured species in the recreational fishing world comes
after
many years of advocacy by anglers and the groups who
represent
them.

The Coastal Conservation Association, the American
Sportfishing
Association and Stripers Forever have been leading the way,
with
many other state and local groups and recreational fishing
industry leaders who knew that this step was needed to cap
off
conservation efforts that have seen stripers and redfish
recover
from overfishing and other pressures.

"With this action, the President has secured a legacy for
the
recreational anglers and conservationists who have worked so
hard on behalf of our marine resources," said Walter W.
Fondren
III, chairman of Coastal Conservation Association. "When CCA
began to work on recovering red drum 30 years ago in Texas,
we
never imagined an event like this would ever be possible. We
owe
a debt of gratitude to the President for recognizing the
high
value placed on these resources by the citizens of this
country."

"This Executive Order has the full support of the
sportfishing
industry. By signing the order, the President sends the
right
message about the need to ensure that striped bass and red
drum
endure as a species and as sport fish to be enjoyed by
anglers
now and for generations to come," said Mike Nussman,
American
Sportfishing Association (ASA) president and CEO. "We have
been
working with a number of organizations for years to see that
this critical conservation measure came to be, and we
applaud
the President for his action."

In his remarks, the President made it clear that he also
supports improving the quality of data available for
managing
our fish stocks. This is one of the central tenets of the
"Angling for Oceans" campaign carried out through TRCP's
Marine
Conservation Working Group (MCWG) last year with CCA and
ASA's
leadership. The campaign focused on reauthorization of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act, which included many new provisions
that
speak to the conservation priorities of saltwater anglers.
The
MCWG is working together to make sure those provisions are
now
properly implemented into law.
