Once again, the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) of Washington has taken the lead by bringing the lawsuit in which WDFW is alleged to have violated both the Open Public Meetings Act and the Administrative Procedure Act to the attention of its membership.

We are very grateful to CCA for emerging as a leader in the issues that affect our fish and our sport. 

In the May 29 issue of CCA Connect E-Newsletter, CCA ran this article which highlights the lawsuit and brings its thousands of members the information they need to become better educated and better involved in fixing the problems our fish and our sport are facing.

Here is an excerpt from the article which highlights CCA's commitment to helping fix these issues:

"CCA, along with many other organizations, have repeatedly raised objections about this broken process. It is unfortunate, but not surprising, that it requires legal action in order to compel WDFW to address the concerns and complaints that have long been expressed by their constituents.

"We are eagerly awaiting the outcome of this process and are determining how we can best support THFWA in their quest to create a more open and transparent North of Falcon process," said Nello Picinich, Executive Director of CCA Washington."

Here is a link to the entire CCA article:

Please join us in thanking all the members of CCA and especially Executive Director Picinich for their courage and leadership.

The lawsuit continues, and soon we will have some more updates.
