Today is the last day to email the FWC Commissioners and let them know you oppose the proposal that would allow the killing of the critically endangered Goliath Grouper.

Protecting Florida wildlife is often a never-ending battle, but it is a battle we can win when we unite for the cause. You are a stakeholder, and you have a voice that can save and protect wildlife, use it! We need everyone to speak up for goliaths as they did at the 2018 FWC Meeting. In 2017 we joined forces with Jim Abernethy and started our Save the Goliath Grouper campaign. Along with several others, we worked to stop a proposal that would have allowed fishermen an "opportunity," as the FWC calls it, to "harvest" the critically endangered goliath grouper. At the April 2018 FWC meeting, goliaths were on the agenda. Almost the entire meeting room was full of people opposing the proposal. Fifty-six people spoke during the comment period. Only two of the fifty-six people who spoke favored the proposal (the American Sportfishing Association and the Coastal Conservation of Florida).
