Public Fishery Alliance post to share:

OPEN HOWE SOUND FOR CHINOOK RETENTION NOW!

Don't let DFO bureaucrats delay and stonewall your legitimate fishing opportunities any longer.
Email your MP, the Fisheries Minister, the leader of the Opposition & the Prime Minister and send this message:
Open Howe Sound now for modest Chinook retention based on science, not politics".
