Summary: An individual is requesting the denial of the recovery permit application for Fort Drum Military Reservation. They argue that the proposed use of electrofishing could harm Atlantic Salmon and other protected species, citing potential physical injuries to the fish.
Please deny the following applicant:
PER82615D-4Downeast Salmon Federation; Columbia Falls, ME
Please protect the Atlantic Salmon from getting killed and/or harmed. I worry that electrofishing would do harm to the poor Salmon, so I would urge the applicant not to use such a method. If electrofishing is done incorrectly, then it can certainly injure the fish, causing muscle spasms that damage the vertebrae. And for some reason, the injures are more common and severe in longer fish. Please check out the link below on this subject. Please also protect all the other different types of animals listed in these applications. Please protect the Bats, the Bumble Bees, the Mussels, and the Fishes from destruction and harm. Please don't tolerate these animals being treated badly by people. All these animals are precious and beautiful, so please protect them.
