What is the CCA Gulf
Fisheries Committee?CCA
created the CCA Gulf Fisheries Committee as a subcommittee
of the National Government Relations Committee. It is comprised of
dedicated CCA volunteers working within the federal council system for better fisheries management in the Gulf of
Mexico.
The CCA Gulf Fisheries Committee
decides annually which species are priorities. Representatives from the
committee attend management board meetings and technical committee
meetings. Attendance in this meeting process is critical to fully
understand the biology and management of each particular species. The
CCA Gulf Fisheries Committee then
formulates goals for each species and works within the council system to
implement them through state organizations and agencies.
Wiley Horton, of
Florida, is the CCA Gulf Fisheries Committee
Chairman. Dr. Russell Nelson serves as the CCA Gulf
Fisheries Director for the
committee.
