Wise Investment

Coastal Conservation Association Florida has just released a new video explaining their mission and focus. It's very well done and narrated by Capt. Rick Murphy, Flip Pallot and George Poveromo.

Here's the clip:

Well worth the watch. If you love to fish in salt water, a $25 CCA membership is one of the best investments you can make. The organization has a long history of protecting the marine resources on both a state and federal level and every new member adds to the organizational strength. http://www.joincca.org

There are also state chapters in Georgia and Alabama (and also across the Gulf and up the Atlantic seaboard) for those of you live elsewhere.

This may not be completely true but it seems like the CCA sides with the Gulf Council on every decision they make .

The record doesn't support that perception. CCA is often at odds with the Gulf and other federal councils. The red snapper/sector separation issue is the latest example. In fact, the organization has gone to court over rules deemed unfair to recreational anglers and harmful to resource conservation.
