I have been quite active on this issue on other boards as well as in my own community. I can not make the Anacortes meeting since I am currently travelling for work (I am in Indiana) but I will definitely make the next two meetings. We NEED to make our presence known. If they successfully shut down this area, who knows what will be next. Please, anyone who can make the meeting, do so. Show them that we can work with them and coexist peacefully with the Orcas. I think a large part of the problem is that they unfairly group recreational fishermen with the rest of the problem. Show them that we are NOT the problem and if anything, we are stewards of the sea. The most important thing is that we show up level-headed and in large numbers so they know we are not just some small group to be pushed aside. If you enjoy your freedom to fish the sound, PLEASE show up to these meetings!
