As members of society
there are many different things that we can do to help reduce commercial
harvesting of the American Eel!
-
Pledge to
decrease fishing quotas of the American Eel, purchase less from stores
-
Advocate for
fishermen to require a fishing permit for the American Eel
-
Advocate to
increase fish licensing fees of the Eel (Using the funds for conservation of
the Eel)
-
Create a
petition to implement a policy in which all Eel caught within the Kingston
region be returned to the waters (Dead or alive)
-
We could also
develop a moratorium on the American Eel thereby completely preventing
fishermen from seeking these fish out
Increase overall awareness to the public of this threatened species and pledge to get the
conversation started!
