Earlier today CCA Louisiana Executive Director David Cresson was asked to provide testimony before the House Subcommittee on Insular Affairs, Oceans and Wildlife concerning the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf. His comments touched on a wide range of topics from the economic and up-ending of lives to the work that lies ahead. He did an outstanding job and I would encourage each of you to take a moment and read his full testimony by clicking here.

Tremendous challenges face both the citizens and the natural resources of that region and it will take an equally tremendous effort from anglers and sportsmen across the country to help in the recovery. CCA has an entire portion of our CCA Newsroom devoted to information concerning the oil spill to keep members, volunteers, and the general public updated on this unprecedented event.
