CCA National Advocacy Team
Richen Brame
Brame is a member
of the Operations Team for the Marine Recreational Information
Program (MRIP) developing the nuts and bolts of the new data
gathering program. He is also the liaison between the Operations
Team and the Registry Team that is defining what the angler registry
must encompass and what the states must do to comply with it.
Brame holds BS and MS degrees in Fisheries and Wildlife Science from North Carolina State University and worked for several conservation groups before coming to CCA. He served as the first executive director for CCA in North Carolina, from 1989 to 2000 and achieved notable fisheries management goals including passage of the Fisheries Reform Act of 1997. Under his watch CCA NC also successfully banned the use of fly-net trawls in the Atlantic to conserve dwindling gray trout stocks, banned shrimp trawling on weekends in inside waters, and outlawed the use of gill nets in a dozen high-use recreational fishing areas.
