Conservation Cooperative of Gulf Fishermen (CCGF)

[capt_dalton]

There is a new group forming in the Gulf of Mexico to help lobby for recreational fishing. It is time we get on a level playing field with commercial interests to ensure that we can have reasonable seasons and creel limits.

The first meeting of the Conservation Cooperative of Gulf Fishermen (CCGF) will be held on January 3 and 4, 2008. The meeting will take place at the Destin Community Center in Destin, FL. The times will be 10AM to 5 PM each day. This is the organizational meeting where the new board members will elect a President, Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer, ratify the bylaws, set goals and objectives, and provide the future direction of the coop.
Everyone is welcome to attend and encouraged to join. So that we may determine how many people may attend and how much meeting space we will need, please let me know if you do plan to attend the meeting. There will be some interesting discussion and interaction among those in attendance and those concerned about our industry and fisheries. A tentative agenda will be provided shortly. If you have any questions, please contact me. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hope they can have a few chapters scattered around. Destin is a LONG haul for me. Also these folks need to consider having meetings on weekends.

Boomer , Whitesboro Tx. is a long way to destin [ Bout 750 miles ] but ya I here ya , they do it during working hours so most people can't attend.

Would be nice if Stephen would go and sign up just to start a chapter closer to home.
