Don't look now, Omega Protein fleet currently off Wildwood NJ and making way North. They emptied out the Chesapeake of Menhaden so now to deplete New Jerseys waters and export the profits to Canada.

Bump- The speed will be tracked through AIS. Automatic Identification System which many larger vessels are required to use.

Please comment. CL

Yes and seems to me that the people in favor of this rule are much more organized and vocal.

If people want to express their opinions, we need to do it before 9/30 and the clock is ticking.....

Comment submitted. This is horse crap...

I have been on a boat (35) Viking when we hit a whale. Don’t know what kind and don’t know if we injured it but it did bend the prop shaft.

I’m not saying I agree with another rule law or regulations. But it does happen. Thank goodness not often.

[Gerry Zagorski]

Time to be blunt here and state what I hope is very obvious. When is the last time you or anyone you know of were on 35+ foot boat out fishing and hit a whale?

Yes, there are more whales in our area now but we have more deer too. Do you want the government telling you they need to lower speed limits for cars now too?

No difference here and it's a slippery slope when government over site interferes with common sense.

Besides, aren't their more important issues the government should be dealing with??

any time the government or any entity of them tries to make a new mandate or law or tries to increase it's control or power in even the smallest margin, the rule of thumb is to oppose it...EVERY TIME. If you haven't learned that, by now, as an adult, there is no helping you.

I could not agree more

Have commented to NOAA as well as written to my rep in Congress.
Could not agree more with comments from many on here, especially Chris and Shrimpman above.
Rather than bee-otching on internet forums, I hope many more will write to NOAA as well as Congress.
Our heirs demand we speak out. Thanks.
