Dr. Roy Crabtree threatened to shut down the Snapper fishery for 3 years at the last Gulf Council Meeting in Baton Rouge when RFA representatives questioned the data he was basing his decisions on and his desire to drastically reduce TAC (Total Allowable Catch). This affects the entire gulf, not just Texas. If you blow this off, you have no right to complain later. Please take a moment to contact your elected officials.
