WASHINGTON – Dec. 1, 2011 – Following a clarification by 18 signers of the recent "industry letter" sent to New England Senators and Members of Congress in which the signers noted "it has become clear that some ENGOs, members of industry, and members of the press have misinterpreted the letter's intent", twelve additional signers have added their names to the letter.
Many fishermen missed the opportunity to sign onto the “industry letter” (dated November 14th). In light of the “clarification letter” (dated November 30th), additional fishermen have now expressed their interest to sign on. Their endorsement is recognized below.
