Copy and send this or change to your liking :
I ( your name here ), as a voting and tax paying citizen, a recreational boater, a fisherman and waterfowl enthusiast, of which utilizes the Santee Lake System, do hereby strongly request that the following amendments be made to the 2019-2020 SC Aquatic Management Plan.
These below requests are founded and based on the factual scientific data that both fisheries and avian species including waterfowl need and desire aquatic vegetation within a reservoir system for their survival.
Furthermore, the health index studies of the currently present triploid grass carp show the captured fish as well underweight as compared to length and age structure. Thus, any person of sound mind can deduce that the aquatic management plan has gone beyond its scope as to aquatic vegetation allowances and control. Simply put, more aquatic vegetation is needed to create better water quality, better fisheries and better waterfowl and other avian habitat.
Requests :
1. That the 10,000 triploid grass carp noted as to be stocked be changed to 5,000.
2. That triploid grass carp introduced into Potato Creek Hatchery, a public CAT 2 waterfowl area that was completely destroyed as to waterfowl benefit by triploid carp stocking, be reduced from 1,428 to zero.
3. That triploid grass carp introduced into the Hatchery WMA, also a CAT 2 waterfowl area be reduced from 15 fish per acre to zero per acre.
A concerned and voting citizen,
( your name)
