The short explanation of this alert was:

This action is for Massachusetts and Maine residents only

As you may know, the New England Fishery Management Council will take a critical vote to amend its management plan for cod and other groundfish - Amendment 16 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan - at its June 22-25 meeting in Portland, Maine.

Both Massachusetts and Maine are powerful forces at the Council and have votes in this process. Now is a crucial time for both states to take the lead in changing fishery management to protect family jobs and put an important part of their state and regional economies on a sustainable path.

We are asking you to make your voices heard with your Governor so that he directs his representatives on the Council to support fundamental changes in how the groundfish fishery is managed by treating all fishermen in the groundfish fleet equally.

Please let your Governor know that fair is fair.
