I get a strong sense that there are many out there who feel as I do; that the state of the Pacific fishery is in peril; that the very offices of our Federal & Provincial govenments charged with the stewardship of this priceless resource - are failing miserably!
I'd also hazard a guess that, as well intentioned as each of us may be and we all want to help and do something, we are pulled in many directions and (in my own case after the demise of the WSA) we end up uncertain which way to go or who to throw your lot in with.
So what I'm proposing here is this: if any of you out there like me agree it's due time that you at least get off your butt and explore some options and ideas about getting involved in an existing lobby group, or, forming the nucleaous of a brand new one, come out for an hour or two and lets talk. Bring your ideas, as I for one would like to hear them.
IMHO, the letter-writing & sign-waving thus far has produced dismal results and I'm done living with this horrible ulser of a notion that if somebody doesn't stand up and do something real-quick that future generations of us people and critters who depend on this blessed and wonderous natural bounty we are blessed with will soon be left with little more than toxic net-pens and oil spills.
Cautionary note to perspective attendees: If you are a readily identifiable member of the SFBC forum, or, a genuinly concerned recreational/commercial/First Nations fisherman/woman driven purely by conservationist values rooted solely in BC's WILD FISHERIES - you are welcome. If you have alterior motives - KEEP YOUR SORRY butt AT HOME!
Otherwise, I will look forward to meeting you and sharing and hearing some thoughts about direction of energy for the benefit of the Pacific fishery. No judgement, no rules, no segregation. Hope a few of you show.
