FISH and GAME INTERESTS

     Fish and Game - Hunting - search for meat -- these are the cornerstones of life for all time.  When humans came along, control of these activities gave the power structures of each era a way to control people - control the food supply and there is control over the people.  Even today, wild meat provides a significant part of the protein supply for United States citizens across the country.  Control over both sport and commercial activities involving hunting and fishing are major subject areas under the control of citizens managed by the President and the Executive Branch of government.  These area are full of major police and political functions and produce enormous amounts of revenue for the government.- -

    State governments also have major agencies which regulate these areas.  Local police departments and Sheriff's departments have major enforcement duties and local communities gain significant funding from local fees and fines.

     Recreation and commercial interests have huge interests in these various regulatory and taxing jurisdictions.  The public stakes and the dollar implications are extremely significant.  Multiple federal agencies participate in the management of these resources under the jurisdiction of several constitutional areas.  Much of the jurisdiction is territorial - involving oceans - or parts of oceans - rivers - forests - national parks and other federally owned lands.

Presidential Appointments and the Future of Fish and Game Interests

     Fish and Game, and the related recreational activities, establishes a serious conflict with power - with land interests - with powerful oil and natural resource commercial interests with the resulting political struggles this conflict establishes.  The conflict is twofold - with the legislation and regulation of this area, and with the officials at federal and state levels that administer the law.

     Presidential-Appointments.org is primarily interested in personnel that administer agencies and the process that gets them to those positions.  Public participation is extremely important in this process - largely because of the unusual power of commercial interests such as oil and mineral exploitation, and the deep interest citizens have in the use of land and water for recreational purposes.
