GOVERNOR SEEKS APPLICANTS FOR MID-ATLANTIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL

HARRISBURG (January 30, 2008) — Governor Edward G. Rendell is seeking qualified candidates to serve on the Mid-Atlantic Fisheries Management Council, which is one of eight regional councils established by the Magnuson Act to develop fisheries management plans and advise the National Marine Fisheries Service.

Pennsylvania has one obligatory seat to fill for a vacancy that will occur on Aug. 10, and also has the opportunity to submit names for one at-large seat.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, governors are encouraged to nominate individuals from the recreational charter fishery with hook and line and rod and reel experience; representatives from the commercial sector; or people with knowledge and experience in the conservation and management of marine resources, habitat and ecosystem approaches to management or consumer affairs.

Those interested in being considered for the position or who wish to nominate someone are encouraged to contact Don Morabito in the Governor’s Office of Public Liaison by Feb. 15 at 717-787-5825 or email at dmorabito@state.pa.us
