Marsha & Louie, CCA Refused to even address it two years ago, that is a fact, especailly if you want me to post all of the emails between them and me. Marsha, your efforts with the Crab are primarily through PSA not CCA. And all of the PSA Hours that have gone into the Crab Allocation issues would dwarf what CCA has been doing with it. All I am saying (to CCA) is thank you for your belated help and be POLITE about it (Larry B -- U District the exception). I think it was through Larry B that finally got CCA started in the right direction just last year late. And as for being a pain in the ass, thank you. That "Pain" at least got something started instead of a bunch of worthless time wasting studies, hand wringing Hen Parties, and WDFW con jobs. I think that the Courteous Thing for Washington CCA should have done in that article, would have been to acknowledge the Decade Long PSA Efforts, that CCA has now joined.
"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."
First off I have spent quite a lot of PERSONAL effort in getting something started and DONE with the CRC (2006 thru Current). Who in Hades do you think got the Performance Audit Ball Bouncing??? You, anybody in CCA, even the Shellfish advisory committe members -- Nope. I begged CCA to get involved, their reply "We are too busy with organizing, fish conservation, etc. I will continue my first and foremost "Independent/Individual" efforts plus all of my NOP PSA Activities. And yes I will continue to BITCH and COMPLAIN, because I have and will continue to pay my dues and put in the hours when most do NOT.
Rant Off
