There are two Larry B. One from Elma and one from U District. One did volunteer to head up the crab committee, about six months ago. I really dont care if an org comes in and throws a "Hale Mary" pass as long as the issue is resolved. Nothing prevents the other organizations from posting their efforts on their website and let members know, they are doing the work. You dont have to cut the ribbon, to prove you help build the ship.

Aside from what Marsha pointed out, I find it frustrating to hear someone complain about what cca did not do. Its a freaking volunteer organization. If people with the knowledge will not volunteer, than dont bitch when it doesnt get done. For every volunteer doing work at the ground level, more work is created for oversight, research, planning, meetings, reports, phone calls etc for those who have graciously taken on that role which is usually one chairman, who is also working on other projects, involving salmon or ground fish or habitat, Marine protection areas, etc. Growing pains happen at every level of every committee. If you want to do more you have to find the people with the passion and the time. Only recently have they expanded the mgt of projects by area, so that we dont have to go back to one manager and beat him until he gives up retirement and all his activities.

Those who complain about seeing nothing done, or expecting the miracles of banning all gillnets, tearing down dams (in a short year or two) are typical of investors who expect high returns for a few dollars invested. Something for nothing. Donate all the money in the world, wont get anything done if there are not enough volunteers who will go do the research and go to the meetings where the decisions get made.
