Let's keep the momentum up folks. It's evident after Friday's vote that the commission has heard the voice of the recreational community LOUD and clear. But the battle is NOT over. They've stepped out in good faith to support us. We MUST return that good faith in kind.

Specifically, the commission needs to hear from YOU!

WDFW will be posting a link to a PDF of the latest draft which will have incorporated the commission's 5 recommendations to the policy

If nothing else, send in a public comment of support for the 5 recommendations, saying simply,

"Thank you commissioners for your recent recommendations to the Grays Harbor Management Policy. I applaud and support your efforts to not only make Grays Harbor a better place TO FISH, but a better place FOR FISH!"

If you have more time to invest, feel free to comment in more detail about any conservation/harvest/allocation issues important to you that you feel are not adequately addressed, and remember to identify any language that could be phrased for better accuracy, precision, and/or accountability.

You can be assured that ALL your comments will be read and heard by the commission. But remember, so too will those of the other side which would seek to foil the new recommendations. We outnumber them by 2-3 orders of magnitude so drowning out the naysayers in the arena of public opinion should be a slam dunk.
