Big thanks to 18 year old OC yak fisher Brendan, who attended the meeting from beginning to end, and donated his speaking time to PSO lobbyist George Osborn. George testified that the RSG can't be expected to continue without adequate science, a point that earned the only applause of the day.
There were 26 free divers. They represented themselves extremely well. There are more of us than them. It would have been nice to see some friendly faces speaking up for our fisheries.
There's another chance tomorrow - public comment is scheduled for first thing in the morning, at 8:30. The speaking points are listed above. Good luck!
