Hayes honored for career of conservation
NMFS’ Deputy General Counsel. Hayes’ vast international experience also started with his work in NMFS. During his time as director of the NMFS Office of Industry Services, he negotiated for the U.S. on bilateral fish- ery negotiations with Japan, Korea, Spain, France and Portugal. He went on to serve as a member of the U.S. del- egation on the U.S. — Japan Subcabinet Committee on Trade, and was the White House-appointed Recreational Fisheries Commissioner for the Inter- national Commission for the Conser- vation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). He was recognized by Outdoor Life maga- zine as the Conservationist of the Year in 2007. “There are few contemporary marine conservation victories in which Bob Hayes did not play a significant role,” said Mike Nussman, president of ASA. “Bob’s humble nature and earnest desire for results before his own need for recognition have kept him out of the limelight, but I assure you, no one is more deserving of the award than Bob Hayes.”
In recognition of a remarkable
career in marine resource conservation, the American Sportfishing Association honored Bob Hayes with its Norville Prosser Lifetime Achievement Award during the organization’s 2010 Sport- fishing Summit. Hayes serves as gener- al counsel for both CCA and ASA, and has been the unfailing voice of the recreational angling community in almost every major marine resource conservation issue since 1985. “Bob is one of the few people who fully grasps the concept of federal fish- eries management as a multi-level chess game. He has an amazing com- mand of the politics of fish, and his ability to get things done at the very highest levels of government is unpar- alleled,” said Patrick Murray, president of CCA. “He is an angler, a strategist, a consummate conservationist, and, most importantly, a great friend and mentor. CCA would be a very different organization without his guidance.” Hayes is an alumnus of Boston University and received his law degree from Catholic University. After serving as a U.S. Army Infantry Lieutenant, he began his career in fisheries as an attor- ney for both the National Oceano- graphic and Atmospheric Admini- stration (NOAA) and for the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). During that time, he was NOAA’s Southeast Regional Counsel and

NOAA grants reprieve to South Atlantic anglers
The rollercoaster of red snapper management in the South Atlantic took yet another turn recently when the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced a six-month delay in implementing large-scale closures to all bottom fish- ing as a management measure to recov- er red snapper stocks. Expectations are that NOAA will use the extra time to fully process a new stock assessment showing red snapper stocks are in bet- ter shape than previously thought and hopefully reduce or even eliminate the total bottom closure as a result. “We are relieved that NOAAheeded our call to review the science before implementing such a devastating man- agement measure on the South Atlan- tic,” said Chester Brewer, chairman of CCA’s National Government Relations Committee. “This is another example of how important it is for groups like CCAto be engaged in the management process, especially when things aren’t going well. However, the root of this problem still exists in federal fisheries law, and we will very likely find our- selves in this kind of predicament
