Suggestions on best breakdown for donating.

[JonDevin]

I'm looking for some guidance on how to figure out who to give what to. Meaning what percentage of my donation should go to SSFFF and what to RFA?

My personal view is donate to whatever is more important to you. If you dont fluke, then support the RFA. I am sure you will get ALOT of different suggestions, just my honest opinion.

Has to be one of the BEST questions to date in this forum Now if only the "cloning" machine would work.

The RFA and SSFFF are calaborating on the issues and the most important to ME is stopping the random, unprecedented closures of fisheries regardless of the species due to the "flawed" data currently available. At the risk of a non defined answer, the RFA is fighting all the Federal closures and pushing the Flexibility Bill for the Magnuson Stevens Act while the SSFFF is ALSO supporting those measures, pushing the Flexibility Bill AND obtaining the data required to fight the battles based on Fluke. Also my hope is the work the SSFFF are doing should benefit data collection and better science for all species so either way you decide its a win /win.

My donations and fund raising trips / efforts will be 50% RFA /50% SSFFF this coming year and as much as I can afford.

SSFFF is now working on the FLAWED DATA. We need all the help we can get as we are tired of hearing "The MRFS Data" is the only Data avalaible. We get NO support from the Government, The State, Pew or any one else. It's all of us together in a nutshell. Do you want to make a statement? Donate to SSFFF, we bust ass for all of us, because we are right!!!
