DMF would like to thank Ron Amidon for his work as Commissioner prior to Tom O’Shea. Ron was a strong supporter of DMF and its nine-member Marine Fisheries Advisory Commission. He was instrumental in assisting the agency in improving its organizational structure and securing personnel to advance the agency’s programmatic capabilities. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.
