From the Ma Ocean Management Task Force Draft Reccomendations
“Statewide planning of ocean resources may identify a need to restrict certain activities in discrete areas of the ocean for the protection of important fisheries, sensitive and/or unique habitats and species, and/or the protection and study of marine biodiversity and ecosystems.”
At the woods hold meeting of the OMT it was made clear that this statement would leave open the possibility that an area could be closed to all fishing in order to STUDY etc. etc.
THIS IS A PROPOSAL
