Support the PFRP

Funding for the PFRP comes through congressional earmarks. The PFRP did not fund projects in 2007 and 2008 and the prospects for FY2009 are not good. The current turmoil over earmarks in Congress and general restrictions on the federal budget raise the possibility of further budget cuts for the PFRP.

Congress needs to know that the PFRP plays a unique and valuable role in providing scientific support for the managements of fisheries for highly migratory species.
