The Bush Administration is proposing a rule change that would weaken environmental review of fishery management initiatives and strengthen industry. The public can submit official comments on the proposal through August 17, 2008 by visiting the Marine Fish Conservation Network via DemocracyInAction. From MarketWatch:

A national coalition of environmental, fishing and marine science groups delivered more than 150,000 comments to the Bush administration calling for withdrawal of a proposed rule that would gut environmental review and limit public input in oceans and fisheries management. The comments are being delivered simultaneously to four separate federal offices in Boston, MA, St. Petersburg, FL, Seattle, WA and La Jolla, CA.
