President's Message

Fisherpeople, 

 It looks like the weather is finally changing for the better, which means the fishing migration is underway. We have a few things coming up in the next few months. First and foremost is the Annual Banquet on April 9, followed by the Haddock Trip on June 5 and the Fluke Trip on July 21. The banquet is a great chance to socialize and get to know your fellow Salties. You might stand next to the same people on a haddock or fluke trip. There is plenty of time to sign up for all three. 

 Abigail Archer sent some info on an upcoming webinar on climate change and fishing/boating. The first one has gone by, but the second is on April 13. See below. 

 Climate Change Effects on Recreational Fishing and Boating: Opportunities and Actions is a two-part webinar series sponsored in part by Rhode Island Sea Grant that will engage Northeast anglers, boaters, and climate experts in discussions about how climate change is affecting these traditional uses - both good and bad. Strategies and actions that individuals, governments, and industry are taking to respond to these changes will also be discussed. This event also features a photo contest with $250 in gift card prizes for photos of climate change impacts! 

 The first webinar, “Experiencing Climate Change in the Field: What does it mean?” takes place March 23 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. 

 The second webinar, “Climate Change Opportunities: What we can do.” takes place April 13 from 6:30-8:00 p.m.
