(Jun. 04, 2010 - Alexandria, VA)... Today, representatives from every sector of the sportfishing industry sent a letter to President Obama urging the administration to make federal financial assistance immediately available to recreational fishing-dependent businesses impacted by the Gulf of Mexico oil catastrophe. The industry also recommended that the administration develop a long-term compensation plan for these businesses to cover losses for the duration of the economic impact resulting from the current crisis.
The Gulf has been hard hit by hurricane Katrina and now the oil spill. It doesn't seem that the president is a fan of fishing, but hopefully this will make him aware of the need of the people.
