The fishermen tell our story the best...

Jamie & Jeffrey Eldredge, f/v Yellowbird, Conch
"New rules were being proposed for the conch fishery- and while we all agreed that better management was needed, we wanted better science and more data to inform the decision making. With the Hook's help, we got together and asked the Mass. fisheries department to expand conch research before implementing new regulations. The Hook helps us make our voices heard."

Tim & Sam Linnell, f/v Perry's Pride, Winter Skate
"The Hook took us to D.C. to speak with our delegation about skates. They got how essential this fishery is for us and know that the science is on our side. This is a perfect example of how fishermen, the fisheries service, and our elected officials can work together."
