Long endorsement

United Fishermen of Alaska, the state's top commercial fishing group, is supporting David Long for a seat on the North Pacific Fishery Management Council.

Here's the UFA endorsement letter.

How in hell is Long going to be an unbiased voice in the discussion of Yukon River By-catch and the demise of the Kings throughout Alaska. Nothing ever changes.

Long has been involved in Alaskan fisheries for the greater majority of his life. He's a great fisherman and an even greater captain. He has been dedicated to his community by actively participating in local issues. He also recently started his own shoe store in Wasilla. He's involved with Alaskan communities. He's a good guy. And is easy to talk to. An asset to Alaska. I'm glad to see him taking on this position.

Also of note, Long has always been highly concerned with maintaining sea life populations and promoting awareness of the unethical and economic dangers of over-fishing. As a man of the sea, he is sensitive to these issues and is protective of the ecological niches for which his livelihood owes much thanks. He is very much a practical, thoughtful intellectual. Yet he is also a down-to-earth, real, laid back outdoorsman type. The industry needs more involvement by such well-rounded, multidimensional types such as he. I look forward to the future.

Don't know this guy Long and hopefully the rosy picture painted of him by blogger @ 4:32 PM and above is the guy who will stay Rock Hard after he joins the council family.
