to all...my earlier post was only about the no fishing zones and other closed areas...HEREIS THE LANGUAGE THAT SURE LOOKS TO ME AND OTHERS TO BE THE OPEN DOOR FOR A
MA SALT WATER FISHING LICENSE
(m) The secretary, in consultation with the department of environmental protection, the department of conservation and recreation, and the division of marine fisheries, is hereby authorized and directed to examine the establishment or renegotiation of fees, licenses, permits, rents, leases and the adjustment or development of other revenue sources for the purposes of funding ocean resource enhancement or restoration through the Ocean Resources and Waterways Trust Fund.
But then again, 10 months ago Senator O'Leary looked me right in the face and told me this language would be corrected to exempt a salt water fishing license...did not happen...If I was from the Cape or Islands I would be calling and quoting this section...also, do not let the staffers tell you O'Leary will not let this happen....he will not be the one interpreting the LAw if it gets through, the Secretarty of the Environment will be. Currently the Secretary is Mr. Doug Foy, former leader of one of the big environmental groups....yeah, yeah Senator, Doug Foy will protect fishermen
