I think the key for recreational fishermen submitting comments opposing VMS is to write your own explaining how you think it will impact you in the future. EVERY comment matters even if they say some are not being considered. There must be an awful lot of comments opposing VMS for the council to disregard some of them. Please keep sending them!
Here is the email address to submit comments. sgamend30comments@safmc.net
Here is a petition supporting alternatives to VMS for those who do not want to submit your own comment. Please consider sharing this link on social media sites. Thank you! http://www.thepetitionsite.com/930/791/778/support-for-alternatives-to-vessel-monitoring-systems/
