April 3, 2013 — In a video, CLF’s Peter Shelley explains the dramatic decline of cod stocks in New England. CLF is calling for a closure of the directed cod fishery. They also oppose proposals to open certain closed areas to commercial fishing.
CLF is also asking citizens to stand with them "to tell NOAA that we need to protect cod, especially the large, productive females." And they ask the public to tell "NOAA that we need to protect their habitat, and their refuges, so that they can recover to sustainable levels."
