It is difficult to maintain momentum from anglers honestly. I think with the proper leadership and continued motivation to act anything is possible. You can't expect people to maintain intensity and be involved in every aspect of a management issue. However with direction and the appropriate people writing the letters many will at least follow through with public commentary etc. As you and I both know many of the meetings are poorly attended but many people will comment via E-mail or snail mail if the letters are written for them.
That being said a conglomerate of organizations working together to support the issue would speak volumes to the managers
I can whole heartedly say my club would get involved. I am certain the MSBA would get involved and is involved. I know guys from various Jersey clubs that may or may not get I involved. I could also find out if this is something the NYCRF would get behind.
I will send out some feelers and see how it works out.

I know there are enviro orgs that would jump on board for a fight like this.
The issue is could we sustain the pressure to do it or would the obviou starting momentum die after an "internet minute".
I'm seriously asking for opinions.
