To insure that the views of the commercial fishing community are appropriately communicated as well as to assist the wildlife resources agency in developing rules and regulations on commercial fishing, there is created a commercial fishing advisory committee. The committee members shall be named by the wildlife resources executive director and shall include, but not be limited to, licensed commercial fishers and roe fishers, dealers, and buyers. The members of the committee shall serve as volunteers and shall not be paid or reimbursed for time served as committee members.
