You know, 20 years ago, recreational anglers, there were groups out there.
Obviously there were powerhouses out there like coastal conservation association, American sport fishing association.
You know, the IGFA was just starting to get into the conservation stuff, but a number of groups.
That were out there and had a voice, but we were fragmented.
Okay.
Meanwhile, the commercial interests were so well coalesced, you know, they had their lobbyists, they had, and what, what was developed, I think a little over 20 years ago was what's now called the center for sport fishing policy.
And this is the leadership in the recreational fishing and boating space in the United States.
So you've got groups like the IGFA, CCA, ASA.
And then you've got major manufacturers like National Marine Manufacturers Association, Yamaha, et cetera.
And we meet and we prioritize policies.
And we speak off one sheet now.
And we have the activists and the lobbyists to go to the hill and get what we need.
And it's been fruitful.
We're starting to see a change.
No, it's funny, though, because like I said, there's been eight presidents and eight chairmen.
My chairman's number eight, and I'm number eight.
Yeah.
And you've been in that role how long?
2020.
I joined IGFA in 2003 as conservation director.
