The short explanation of this alert was:
Overfished Atlantic spiny dogfish, or "cape sharks," along the east coast of the United States are at serious risk from excessive fishing in state waters. Thanks in large part to your support, there is a strong recovery plan in federal waters and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) has taken emergency action to close state waters to dogfish fishing. The ASMFC will soon replace the emergency measure with a long-term plan for which comments are being accepted until August 5th. Unfortunately, at a time when these depleted, small coastal sharks need the most protection, efforts to use this plan to dramatically increase fishing for dogfish are gaining momentum. Please respond to this alert and let the ASMFC know they must end directed fishing in state waters and allow dogfish to recover.
