Is CHOIR one of the two groups?

Thats good news as it might get the NMFS's attention but those groups had better have a pile of $$$ available to fight the war.

Probably not, but I for one am not so one sided in my considerations of their influence, that I allow it to cloud my view of the big picture............

Essential background -

Earthjustice has received over $20 million from Pew since 1998.

Oceana was a part of Earthjustice before it split off.

Forming NAMA was Peter Shelley's Pew Fellows "project" and he was the org's "Presiding Director." See link

I mean if you know something about me that you'd like to share, by all means, feel free.

But if you don't, then exactly what is the point?

If you have info to share, that will "enlighten" us, why don't you post it??

Thanks in advance.

Oh- c'mon FF4U-

I'm perfectly willing to listen to whatever you have to say and comment
politely with as much objectivity as possible, so don't be bashful.

Good to see you opening your mind more, John. At least for today.

Like I always say, it is always good to follow the money - all of it from all sides.

Twofin (or anyone else): Remember that herring lobbyist letter that Rick Marks wrote and circulated among congress to remove the Midwater buffer zone from AM1?

Do you know if he is the same Rick Marks listed here as "GSSA/Washington"...

Thanks.

 

[NilsS]

Yep, same one. Why?

the two groups are the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance (NAMA) and the Midcoast Fishermen's Association....both groups of Maine groundfishermen.
