First of all, thank you to all of NJ Fishing.com's sponsors that originally donated to SSFFF 7 years ago. That money was used to hire Dr Mark Maunder. His work was accepted by NMFS and kept the summer flounder fishery open for all of us. Unfortunately 2 years ago NMFS decided they were no longer going to use his model. As a result we had to contract Cornell Univ and Rutgers Univ for two separate but related projects to assist NMFS. The monies previously donated were all used on Dr Maunder's stock modelling project. These two current projects together add up to over $60,000.00. The invoices are coming due and we need about $15,000.00. So, if you donated in the past, we are once again asking for your help. If you have never donated before we are now asking you for your help. Whether you have a 6 pack boat, a party boat, a tackle shop, an online tackle business, sunglasses, bucktail manufacturer, or marina it is in the best interest for your businesses and your customers to take 5 minutes and send a check to: SSFFF, PO Box 86, Brielle, NJ 08730. Any amount brings us closer to paying those two invoices.
