Welcome to the official blog of the CNMI "Size Matters" Campaign, which aims to promote sustainable fishing by catching or eating fish only after they have reached their L50 size, or the size at which they begin to reproduce. This is one way we can work to ensure there will be enough fish for all of us tomorrow.

Caught Fishing Contest!

Guillermo Fernandez, the winner of our March contest
Before you head out fishing this month, make sure to grab your Size Matters brochure!  The Size Matters street team will be hitting the beaches throughout April and May looking for fisher folk carrying their brochures.  Anyone "caught" with a brochure will get a free Size Matters t-shirt and be entered into the end of May drawing for a custom Size Matters ice-chest.

So grab your brochures and we'll see you on the beach!
