The members of the Tennessee Wildlife Federation’s Camouflage and Casting Coalition oppose the recently created Commercial Fishing Advisory Council’s following recommendations: Expanding commercial fishing to new waters, studying the viability of commercial fishing in all statewide waters, and removing the 34” size limit on catfish.
As organizations and individuals that value Tennessee’s sport-fishing heritage, we are concerned that these recommendations could or will harm Tennessee’s fisheries resources and expose men, women, and children to harmful contaminates in our food supply. Further, these recommendations do not represent the best interests of Tennessee’s economy.
