Flora Savers, Executive Director of Save
Our Shores, a coalition of environmental
organizations concerned with Ramford River and
coastal issues, is running against Mr. Byers
for State Congress in November. George
Sweetwater, Chief of the Mahwah Branch of the
Renapi Native American Tribe, and Gill Netter,
President of the Commercial and Recreational
Fisheries Association, are meeting about
dredging the Ramford River to remove the PCB
contaminated sediments. George is concerned
because many members of his tribe consume
large quantities of fish from the Ramford
River. The multi-million dollar fishing
interests in Gill’s association are anxious
to take measures that will reduce the levels
of PCBs in fish so the ban on commercial
fishing will be removed. Flora, George, Gill
and their supporters in Ramford County are in
favor of the proposed dredging project.
