This is a VERY important video. Please watch it.

It concerns your fishing future.

The Billfish Foundation can help you by presenting a very convincing case to politicians and fishery managers that sportfishing is the BEST way to utilize the country’s fishery resources of large gamefish and their prey.

This video explains how and why a gamefishing industry is worth far more economically to a country – in financial return as well as in jobs and the creation of infrastructure for the population – than commercial harvesting of those same species. Once these fish are harvested they are dead, whereas with gamefishing they are ‘rented’ – contributing economic value through their use, but then returned alive to sustain the ocean.

The Billfish Foundation will present this case to politicians and managers on our behalf, but they are a charitable organization funded through membership and donations from caring citizens like you. They need your support to enable this to happen. Please join right now. Visit: www.billfish.org and take a membership from as little as US$40 – or make a sizeable donation.

The Billfish Foundation can help to preserve your lifestyle and protect your access to grounds and your ability to find quantities of large gamefish. They have already done it overseas. In some South American countries, longlining and purse-seining are now banned – and the proliferation of gamefish, and gamefishing, has been astounding. With your help, they are keen to make that happen in the South Pacific too.

Please take action – NOW.

Thank you.
