[Coral-List] Conservation challenge: Podcast on Atlantic Goliath Grouper

[Vicki Goldstein]

I just listened to your podcast on the Atlantic Goliath Grouper and loved
it! Very good information and I appreciate the advocacy you shared. We
developed a webpage when FWS
opened the fishery for recreation purposes asking people to send letters to
the Commissioners opposing this. These majestic creatures should be
protected.

Best,
Vicki
