H.R. 1584

Thank You Congressman Pallone for your support and efforts on behalf of the fishermen of NJ and the U.S. Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr., NJ has proven once again that you can help the fish AND the fishermen at the same time. That having healthy fish stocks does not mean you have to gut the fishing industry and fishery. The Pew Charitable Trusts and Marine Fish Conservation Network could learn a few things from Congressman Pallone! Congressman Pallone has been a long time supporter of the fishermen of NJ and the United States. He has once again shown his commitment to fishermen and the fishery by not only sending a letter of support to SSFFF, but by taking action in Washington, D.C. as well.
