This is a ploy by Bush to show that he cares about the environment!!!
EEZ zones are already non-fishing zones for striped bass, so by making striped bass a gamefish(no Comm allows) changes nothing in the Zones, because there is no fishing allowed there now anyways!!!
The Federal Govt can mandate laws outside the 3 mile zone!!! Inside that area,States and only States can mandate the laws they want!!! That is why every State has different rules about fishing!!!
You can bet if there were huge oir reserves in the EEZ Zones, that Bush and his oil buddies would be pushing Congress to open it for drilling!!!
Don't Be Fooled!!!
