Senator Charles E. Schumer, NY
SCHUMER TO INTRODUCE LEGISLATION ALLOWING MUCH-NEEDED FLEXIBILITY IN FEDERAL FISHING RULES; BILL CRUCIAL
TO SAVING LONG ISLAND'S COMMERCIAL AND RECREATIONAL FISHING INDUSTRY
LI's Once Thriving Commercial and Recreational Fishing Industry Has Been
Decimated by Arbitrary Quotas and Outdated, Inexact Science Severely Limiting Catch and Allowable Fishing Days - Antiquated
Laws Not Based on Best Available Current Science
Schumer's Bill Would Increase Flexibility of Quotas and
Allow Science to Determine Regulations - LI's Losing Millions Every Year Because of Excessively Strict Quotas
Schumer: With Flexibility and a More Up-to-Date Science Based System, We Can Rebuild Stocks and Allow LI's Fishing Industry
to Survive.
