Re: Don't forget to register
The registry is a direct result of the Federal Governments Magnuson Stevens Act. Every state has to have a registry to be in compliance.
Many states decided it was an opportunity to create a paid for salt water license. If you remember, our state tried to do the same... They got someone in Fish and Game people to try and float a trail balloon and when it got met with widespread opposition, it was during an election year and the politicians ran from it like a burning building  NY actually had a paid license for a year or 2 and the people revolted and got it overturned. Good for them!! This is a perfect example of big government gone wrong....On the surface the Mangnuson Stevens Act was viewed as a good thing...Most of us wanted to do something to protect our fisheries, but look what it morphed into. Even with the best intentions things got totally screwed up. Another example is Obama Care..... Same could be said of the Marine Sanctuary Program so if you have not signed the petition in the post above, please consider doing that. The silver lining in this cloud is people are getting "fed" up and career politicians have been served notice that we are not going to stand by and take it any more.... Politicians are like diapers... They need to be changed frequently and for the same reason
