I do want to participate in the process but what has been used until now is so flawed it is criminal. I hear that the new NOAA Saltwater Angler registry is finally up and running and welcome a call from these folks. Still don't know why I have to get my mother registered for the few times she will fish with with me; I think they should call and ask me directly. |
I would say if you don't want to answer the questions just refuse to take the survey. If you take the survey and LIE about the answers, you become part of the problem.
