COSTA RICAN GOVERNMENT INCREASES
 
LONGLINE CATCH ALLOTMENT
 
 
DO YOU KNOW-1.2 million pounds of Sailfish meat passed through the Costa Rican Fish Wholesalers in 2006!

The group that regulates commercial fishing in Costa Rica is INCOPESCA. They recently had the legal limit of Sailfish that long-line fishing boats may keep raised to 15% of their total catch. Now they want to increase that to 25% of total catch and allow 35% in the months of January through April, high season for Sailfish and Marlin in the Pacific Coastal Waters.

They are targeting Sailfish as a commercial fish. Other Central American countries have realized the value of Sailfish to their economy as a sport fish and prohibit commercial fishing for them. If you are a captain or fisherman it's time to speak up. Please take 5 minutes and send a mail encouraging the Costa Rican government to prohibit the commercial fishing of Sailfish and Marlin. A Sailfish that can be caught and released numerous times is better for the Costa Rican economy than a Sailfish that is placed dead on a dock.

Please express your opinion to:

Oscar Arias, President of Costa Rica-direct to his assistant-
laurasolis@casapres.go.cr

Carlos Ricardo Benavides, Minister of Tourism, crbenavides@ict.go.cr
Carlos Villalobos, Executive President of ICOPESCA fax 2661-1760

The Presidents office says fax is the best way to contact the President.

Oscar Arias Presidents of Costa Rica's personal fax
Fax in
Costa Rica # 2253-9078
From the outside the country #011-506-2253-9078

PLEASE take 5 minutes and write a short note to the President and fax it to him.
