The State of MA has hired a new anadromous fish coordinator, and he is closer than you think...
OK, it's me (shameless self-promotion time). Just thought you would like to know that one of your own now has some small input into recreational fishing polcy in MA.
A big part of this position will be hydropower relicensing, where I will represent the state in negotiations with the power companies. I will also be involved in the campaign to restore Atlantic salmon. I will be the state's rep. to the Atlantic salmon restoration technical committee, and will be responsible for hiring seasonals to work the fish ladders on the CT and Merrimack R, and I will be in charge of the fry stocking program (2 million/year- I expect all of you to help- we use volunteers!). I will also do herring and shad stuff. Your input is welcome- just wait until I post my new email address - I start with the State on Nov 9th.
