The suggestions come from
everywhere. They may come in
neatly typed letters or scrawled in
ink. Some are printed in pencil.
Some are obviously written by kids,
block lettered and abrupt. Other bear
the faint, spidery handwriting of the
very old.
But no matter how they look,
they frequently have something in
common. They offer suggestions for
changes in the inland fishing
regulations in North Carolina. Many
of the suggestions show careful
thought and a good understanding of
fish management. A few seek only to
promote selfish interests at the
expense of natural resources.
During August, I attended
meetings of the N. C. Wildlife
Resources Commission's Division of
Inland Fisheries in Raleigh. The
purpose of the meeting was to
consider suggested changes in the
fishing regulations for 1976. Believe
me, it's a formidable job.
During a lengthy meeting, the
Division of Inland Fisheries and the
Wildlife Protection Supervisors
considered over 120 suggested
changes in the 1976 fishing
regulations. Many of the suggestions
came from field biologists and other
staff members of the fisheries
division. Quite a few also came from
the Commission's Division of
Protection. Other divisions also
offered suggested changes. And, of
course, there were those suggestions
that had come by mail from all over

the state during the year.
'Every suggestion is typed up.
along with the reasons for it.'
explained Don Baker, chief of the
Division of Inland Fisheries. ' 'The
suggestions are first considered by
field personnel, biologists, and
protectors, at meetings across the
state. Then the suggestions, along
with comments from local staff
personnel, are compiled into on big
list.''
I watched the biologists,
protectors and others go through
that huge list one by one, and I'm
here to tell you that the attrition rate
is terrific. My guess is that about one
in 10 suggestions survives, and many
of the proposed changes that do are
relatively minor.
You are probably thinking that
staff members (biologists and
protectors, for example( get
preferred treatment over those who
mermly write tire Commission a
letter. Well, if that's true, I didn't see
any signs of it. Biologists and
protectors sitting on all four sides of
me saw their carefully considered
suggestions scrutinized, kicked
around and often discarded for a
variety of reasons. I had a suggestion
in the hopper myself, but it didn't
get very far because there were
factors 1 had overlooked.
Finally, at the end of the meeting,
the staff had a small nucleus of
possible changes for the 1976 fishing
regulations.
But those proposals are not home
free yet. Next, they go to the
Commission, then to a series of
public hearings. They're considered,
cussed, discussed, and kicked around
all over again. Then, what's left of
them comes back to the
nine-member Wildlife Commission
for final consideration and adoption
They can be tossed out of altered
even at this point.
'One thing about it.' said Baker.
'By the time a proposed change in
our fishing regulations gets into the
book, it's been through the mill. But
that's the way it should be. This
insures that no hasty decisions are
