Think it can't happen? Just let them go ahead with this plan and it will be the beginning of the end !!! It already happened in Florida !

Regarding Fishing and other recreational activities in SHB:

excerpt:
"NMS status will not directly affect any of those recreational activities. As such, there will be no new regulations beyond those that already exist, and activities that occurred before the NMS designation will continue to occur after the NMS designation."

Go ahead and believe that. Your right the government NEVER changes it's mind or does 180's. Once you give the Fox the right to guard the Hen House all bets are off !

It can and most likely will happen.. The political far left has almost absolute power on much of both coasts these days, and these things will certainly be implemented if it continues as is... Think not?... Please take a look at California's
"no take" zones...https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Conserva...e/MPAs/Network

I have to agree with scooter. Nothing good can come of this. In my opinion once set up, they will take more and more of our rights away.

Dude, wake up.

I just sent the following to the organization sponsering this joke, for what it's worth

I can't disagree with the establishment of a national marine sanctuary more! I fish the bay and the river and don't need the Feds to restrict my rights any more than they already do.

I and my fellow fishermen will do whatever legally possible to keep this from moving forward.

The river and bay belong to the public not special interest groups like yours.

Way to go Steve.

Here is my email that I sent.

Rik van Hemmen,

There will be a tremendous fight on your hands with all of NJ’s fishermen. There is absolutely no place for a marine sanctuary in this state. The state and federal regulations are more than enough to deal with. We as fishermen have already seen first hand what happens when you let a fox guard the hen house. We will not allow NJ or any of it’s marine waters be designated like this. Biscayne Bay Florida was portrayed as a great idea that would preserve a valuable resource. Now there is a federal ban on all fishing activities.

Prepare for the biggest legal fight of your life.

At this still early stage we are considering the following goals for the Sandy Hook Bay NMS:

1. Serve as a laboratory and thought leader for integrated man/nature interaction in a rich, complex, diverse, and culturally developed environmental setting


Sounds clear to me ...no threat here.....
