Differences YOU Can Make

AMERICAN EEL


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!
